Character sets are required for creating animation clips in the Trax Editor. If you want to create clips for a HumanIK character and edit the animation in a non-linear fashion using the Trax Editor, note that you must create a character set to contain your HumanIK character, including all the FK and IK objects. See Create character sets.
