How to collapse animation layers into a single base animation layer? (Max 2021)

[BenediZ]

Hello,

I have several animation layers and just want to move the animation in the time.

MAIN QUESTION: All I need is to bake down all animation into the base layer, so simple, in order to grab them in the time line.

With Anim Baker I get a key for every single frame.

How to solve that?

- It seems impossible to grab all those keys with the curve editor they have very low and very high values, so I can't grab all keys. (there is no "normalize" function as in Maya, that each curve fits into the window in the same size)

and opening the the dope sheet leads to a crash.

Thanks

Bake the animation - select controller/s -> Edit -> Controller -> Collapse...

Set numb of keys by setting "sample" in dialog...

Or/and use "Simplify Curve" tool after collapsing

Normalize curve in Max is "Frame ..." - several options

Don't have to select keys for retiming - select controller/s in left- hierarchy window and use "Retime" tool
