Edit motion capture data

To modify the scale or offset of your motion capture data

1. In the Device Outliner, select the axis or attachment you want to modify.

   Select an axis if you want the Mapping tab to control a device mapping.

   Select an attachment if you want the Mapping tab to control an attachment mapping.

2. Under the Mapping tab, select Absolute or Relative mapping. See Mapping tab.
3. If you are working with device mapping, select World space or View mode. See Worldor View.

You can also change the scale and offset values in a mapping without affecting the preview data or animation curves by doing the following:

To change the attachment and device mappings

1. Change the scale and offset values using the Mapping tab (as described in Edit attachments).
2. Re-apply the take by clicking Preview or Apply Take.

After applying the recorded data, the take data is still in the take buffer. For small takes this may not be a problem, but for large takes you may want to free this memory.

To free the take data for all devices

1. Under the Controls tab, click Clear.

   You cannot undo this action.
