Split geometry cache clips

You can split your geometry cache clips to divide an object’s cached deformations into multiple, reusable cache clips.

Note: You cannot split a cycled geometry cache clip. You need to first merge the cycled cache clip before you can split it. See Merge geometry cache clips.

To split geometry cache clips

1. In the Trax Editor, select the cache clip that you want to split.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Drag the Trax current time indicator to the position on the cache clip where you want it to be split, right-click the cache clip, and select Split Clip from the context-sensitive menu that appears.

     The geometry cache clip is split at the current time indicator’s current frame and two cache clips appear replacing the selected cache clip.

   • In the Trax menu bar, select Edit > Split.

     The cache clip is split according to the current settings in the Split Clip Options window, and two clips appear replacing the selected clip.

Tip: Rename the cache clips that result from the Split cache clip operation to help you remember their original order.
