Options in the Transition Optimization dialog allow you to select the range over which the optimize algorithm will search for the transition. It can search either the whole clip, or it can search near the existing transition. You must specify the preferred length of the optimized transition. character studio will try to get as close to that length as possible, still opting to give you the best length.

If it searches about the existing transition, you must specify the number of frames about which it will search before and after the existing transition.
Optimized transitions compute for minimum foot sliding over the range of the transition. This method yields very high quality results.
Interface
- Preferred Transition Length
-
Specify the length of the optimized transition.
- Search Entire Clip
-
Search the entire clip for an optimized transition start frame.
- Search Near Existing Transition
-
Create an optimized transition near the existing transition. You may search the range about the existing transitions by setting before and after frame values.
