6 Drag the time slider back and forth over the transition.


In order to create a smooth transition, you’ll look for areas in the source
and destination clips where foot and body movements will flow together
cleanly. Frame 80, where the character’s right foot is in the air, looks like
a reasonable starting frame for the source clip. Body weight is in the
process of shifting to the right foot.

7 In the Source Clip group, set the Start to 80.


8 Move the Frame spinner in the Destination Clip > Ghost group, and
watch the red stick figure that represents the destination clip. At frame
20, the character is starting to push backward with its right foot. The
character’s weight will be on the right foot in both clips if this frame is
used as the Destination Start Frame.
