create a story in motion builder

• drag a character into the viewer or have your already rigged up character make sure that it has no animation
• go to your story tab in the navigator panel
• drag a motion from your clip-art folder onto the below the shot track one
• drag your motion that was created and drag it to frame Zero
• and when you press play you will see your character move to the motion that you put in there
• now add another character and do the same thing but make them interact with each other by making one punch and the other one get knocked down

Blend

• you can blend multiple motions for one character by dragging the motions on the same track. line them up with each other and the taking the arrows and blending them over each other

Cut

• ok so you only want a part of a motion that you import. no problem.
• just scrub the time line to the place where you want to stop that clip (for either blending or just stopping there)
• and right next to the button which looks like a magnet there will be a scissors cutting something. that is called the razor. (don’t know why they just didn’t make it look like a razor or just call it cut.)
• now that clip will be in two pieces you can either delete it or move it over for later use.
