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 be located on different tracks.
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 Graph
Editor.
- 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.
NoteIf you don’t want
to merge clips, you can still manage multiple clips at a time by
grouping them.
See
Create groups.
To
merge clips

NoteWhen clips merge,
any gaps or overlapping between the animation clips are interpolated
or blended.
