You can merge two or more clips into a single clip. The clips to be merged can be positioned sequentially in a track or can

The benefits of merging clips are as follows:
- There are fewer clips to manage
- If you merge a pair of blended clips, the resulting source clip has keys for the blended animation. You can activate the merged
clip and edit its animation in the .
- You can merge a single clip into a new clip. This is useful for creating an absolute clip from a relative clip, or for splitting
a cycled clip. See Split clips.
Note
If you don’t want to merge clips, you can still manage multiple clips at a time by grouping them. See Group and ungroup clips.
