Timecoding Reallusion Motion Files

Reallusion motion formats, including *.rlMotion, *.iMotion, *.iMotionPlus and *.iTalk, can carry timecode data.

Timecoding iClone Templates

There are several ways to embed timecode data into iClone templates.

• Right-click on the clip and perform Save Motion Clip:
  
  • Save with Motion: Save the clip as rlMotion or iMotion formats and leave the clip timecode settings intact.
  • Save with Updated Timecode: Save the clip as rlMotion or iMotion format with custom timecode set in step 4.
  • Save Motion Only: Save the clip as rlMotion or iMotion formats without timecode data.
• Export the motion via Collect Clip > Save with Timecode.
• Choose any timecode-enabled format: rlMotion, iMotion, iMotionPlus or iTalk.
  
• You can include the timecode into the motion file when you click the Save button in the Smart Content Manager.
  
  **The length of the saved motion file will be identical to the project length, not the original clip length.

Verifying Motion Files Containing Timecode Data

1. Right click on a motion file and choose Content Info from the context menu.
   
2. The Content Information panel will include data for the timecode and fps.
   
   With a complete absence of timecode data, the timecode field will be omitted.
