Scale clips
To
scale a clip from the Trax Editor
- Drag
the lower corner clip hotspots to scale clips.
See
Clip interaction controls.
When you reduce (<100% of the original clip
length) or scale down a clip, you are actually compressing the animation
on the clip, so that the resulting animation appears faster or sped
up.
When you scale (>100% original clip length)
up a clip, you are actually extending the animation on the clip,
so that the resulting animation appears to be slower.
NoteWhen you move or scale clips in the Trax
Editor, the edges of the clips snap to the edges of neighboring
clips. This is useful when working with clips that begin or end
with a value that is not a whole number or if you are viewing many
frames and require accuracy.
To
scale multiple clips at a time
- You
can select multiple clips (-click)
in one or more characters and scale them all at once using the scale
handles of the clip manipulator.
To
scale a clip from the Channel Box
- In
the Trax Editor, select the clip
you want to scale.
- In
the Maya main menu, select
Display > UI Elements > Channel
Box./Layer Editor
The Channel Box appears,
displaying the selected clip’s channels.
- In
the Channel Box, set the Scale channel
value.
See
Scale.
