How to combine and edit Mixamo animations in Blender?

[@jonlind1]

After reading many of the comments about only one strip animating while the others freeze, my solution in the NLA is to open panel on the right, select "Strip" (not just "Extra") and make sure each armature is switched from Hold to Nothing.

[@harpsandthrones]

Thank You ... select "Strip'" not just "Edited Action"

[@monicadavis492]

YES! Thank you for this fix! I had the same problem and your fix worked like a charm!

[@asteriondaedalus6859]

Yep, this works for me. I am using blender 3.4 and the two "skating" animations ("peddling" and "coasting"). I used the "peddling" as the "skinned", and the "coasting" as the "non-skinned". It seemed that, with "Hold" set on both, the "skinned" animation would (I guess) "Hold", but even with "Hold" on the "non-skinned" animation, the "non-skinned" animation would run but the "skinned" animation would not run.

Thanks alot I really stuck into this for 3 hours thanks

You're a life saver! ❤ Thank you! 🥹

[@drformalyst5222]

Thank you for this tutorial. This trick of adjusting the curves in Graph editor at 7:20 is the best solution I found -in years- of connecting disparate mocap animations (which unlike neatly cleaned Mixamo animations will never start at origin, they will always be differently oriented etc)

[@Shattered3582]

this was amazing i have been learning a lot of blender this week and this has been the cherry on top🥰

[@AR-dj2lg]

非常好用，很多KZbin應該在介紹mixamo時告訴這些知識，但是他們並沒有，所以你很細心。謝謝！

[@jankuijl59]

For everyone not getting the multiple tracks to work, follow this: in order to get each track to play simultaneously no matter it's track position, you need to 1) Hop over to the "Active Strip" options (Press N, then go to the "Active Strip" area 2) In the "Extra" dropdown menu, select "Nothing" 3) In the "Blend" dropdown menu, select "Combine" That's it! Just make sure to do this with each action strip and everything will work good.... Note: You have to select the Action Strip itself, not the Track This way you can have multiple tracks, like shown in the video. Which actually will follow up after each other. In the standard settings only the top track works.

[@juanfxblender]

This comment should be pinned!!!!! Thanks!!!! I was going crazy!!!!😂

[@tloumahlaba4710]

Didn't work for me

[@jankuijl59]

@@tloumahlaba4710 Did you also make sure none of the stars on the left side are checked? Because if so, it will only play that specific track. So you gotta set the Dropdown menu's as I said above, AND make sure none of the stars are selected. I hope this helps :)

[@jeffreycollins2961]

@@tloumahlaba4710 didn't work for me either

[@WakingAbyss]

Thank you! Btw, for those of you still struggling. After you press N on the non-linear animation window, on the far right, you will see three options: Edited Action, Strip, and Modifers. You must select STRIP. Then, you must change Extrapolation to Nothing and Blend to Combine. You must select each individual action strip and repeat the process. Hope this helps.

[@NuGiant-uy1mj]

Very useful, you explained all steps clearly. Great work !!!

[@polaris911]

thank you for making this. Even with the robot voice, it was a huge help.

pulling my hair out earlier today until I found this solution. Thank you very much...hours of frustration melted away

[@adeptussilicium2821]

Thnks you a lot! This is very helpfull tutorial, I have fulfilled it and now i know important basics things about combining animations.

[@online.python.dersim]

This is great video. In order to put enabled and disabled keyframe one must hover on the eye icon. Other ways enabled and disabled options doesnt change. So this minor but very important detail can be highlighted. Thanks for video.

[@Alex-RaymondT]

Thank you for this excellent precise, concise and complete work. Apart from the small problem solved by the commenters and the one encountered on the balloon object constraint keyframes which I solved using the "Influence" window and the associated Keyframe command. Exceptional tutorial on content and form 🏆🏆🏆. I subscribe! ☺☺☺

Great straight forward video! 🙏thank you

[@mickyelmb]

Great tutorial, you are awesome for sharing your knowledge and materials. I had the issue with the NLA strips not running for the IDLE and SAVE on my desktop until I followed your advice and switch the Extrapolation from Hold to Nothing and it worked fine. Oddly when I encountered the problem I switched from my desktop to my laptop and didn't have to change any settings and I made it through the whole tutorial with no issues. I'm going to walk through the process on my desktop again to see if everything works ok there. Thank you so much.

I had problems in playing animatioins as shown at 5:31. If you also have the same problem, switch from Hold to Nothing in the Extrapolation parameter you find in the Strip tab (if you don't see the tab, press N with the mouse in the NonLinear editor)

This is a very useful tutorial. Thank you. PS. Why when you import your first armature without skin, and then you move it on X a little, and hit play it animates right there...but when I do the same, after I hit play, it pops to the world origin and animates there?

[@debasiskavlog4023]

Thank you sir

For some reason I cant see the keyframes on the timeline after clicking on the skeleton. I can add keyframes but I don't see the one that is already there

[@NOVAC-pl7mc]

I have three animations i.e., idle, start walk, walking. Where you select the hip bone and add cursor to selected, I select the left foot bone. And when I add selection to cursor after selecting the next frame, my object doesn't displace to the selected location rather it stays where it is. It only works when I select the hip bone but with hip bone's reference, the animation looks clunky. What should I do?

Hi this is Great, for locations. what is you wish to Turn the rotation (world) of the hIp bone. so the figure/ armature is turned another way.? Im not sure How to do this... so its only changes the direction and not all the animation of hip...?

It's not working atall for me Is there a specific setting for this method of animation ??

Thanks for the video really good. However I am having a big problem. When I get to 5m39 section, and I have added the actions to different tracks, It will only act out the top layer, no matter what. I change the order and it will only play the top track, if there is no gap between or they overlap. If I put the actions on the same tracks it will play them. Anyone else had this issue?

Hi MK Graphics, I have done a combined animation like this tutorial - but unsightly jumps between the animations are visible. I wanted to improve the weak points with Mixamo Addon.

Do you have an idea? Thank you and best regards
