' This example shows how to create an offset clip effect.

' First, an animation is created on the sphere, and 

' a CreateOffsetEffect is created on the action clip.

' Then, offset keys are added to the Fcurve of the clip effect.

' 

' At the end, ResetSelectedEffectCurves will be called to reset all infos

' on the effect of the current selected object, 

' but keeping the effect.
