Q&A: How to Edit Humanoid clip?

Q:
I have an animation on humanoid rig model, and I want to modify some frames, how to do it?


A:
If you want to EDIT an Muscle clip ( Humanoid clip ) in Animation view, you need to convert it to Generic/Legacy clip first.

There're two methods:
1. if the Muscle clip has a FBX/DAE archive,
(0). Duplicate the archive (if you don't want to mess with the original one )
(1). change the import setting from Humanoid to Generic;
(2). and you get the Generic clip in the archive.
duplicate the clip from archive and edit it.

2. if the Muscle clip has NO FBX/DAE archive, (which is common if you bought it from assetstore, only one .anim file)

Use the MuscleClipConverter to convert it to Generic

You can also see this video for the three examples of clips conversion:
1. Generic => Humanoid
2. Humanoid A => Humanoid B
3. Humanoid => Generic

And after you're done editing, if you want to make it a Muscle clip, use the "DAE exporter" to export it to DAE archive, and make it Humanoid in Import setting.
