trackgroup labelled All, where you will start laying out your tracks, motion
clips, and transitions. The label All indicates that motions placed on
tracks will apply to the entire biped, rather than specific body parts.

TIPThe Motion Mixer window can be resized. For better viewing of what's
added to the Mixer, you can drag the edge of the window vertically and
horizontally.

Opening the Motion Mixer also automatically turns on the Mixer
Mode button on the Biped rollout. When Mixer mode is on, the biped
performs the motions in the Motion Mixer.

Trackgroups are populated by tracks, in the form of Layer tracks or Transition
tracks. On each track, you add clips and transitions. The final product of your
efforts is called a mix.
