Enable or disable clips

You can disable a clip to stop it from playing during the playback of its character’s animation in Trax. If you later decide you want the clip to play again, you can then enable the clip.

Note

A useful animation technique is to create many clips for a combination of motions, and then control which clips apply in a situation by disabling and enabling the clips to help analyze the motion.

To disable or enable clips

In the Trax Editor, select the clip you want to disable or enable.
Do one of the following:
- -click the clip and select Enable Clip from the menu that appears. See Enable Clip.
- In the Trax menu bar, select Modify > Enable/Disable.
When a clip is enabled, a appears beside the Enable Clip option in the Trax context-sensitive menu for the clip. When a clip is disabled, the clip appears dark blue.
