Create an action from the timeline?

Post by madriver »

I've created several morph targets for a character.

I then create a movement on the timeline using said morphs.

Is there any way to "bake" this action from the timeline so I don't have to use sliders for every layer everytime I need this motion?

Don't think there's a way to bake it, but you can insert actions into other actions (although they won't be referenced).

So If you make the animation inside a new action it works.

That's how I make my eyelids. I have one action for open eyes, one for closed eyes and then I've created an action called blink that is made with keys from the open and closed actions.
