Motion Lab troubleshooting

Pose Handles do not appear

• Enter Animate mode and select an animation.
• Confirm that the model has an applied Pivot Skeleton.
• Turn on Pose Handles in the Animate top options bar.
• Switch from Selected Chain to Focused or Full Skeleton when the current selection hides the rig.
• Check Pivot Visibility Settings when unselected controls are too faint.

A pose preview did not create keys

• Keep Auto Key enabled when a new key should be created at the playhead.
• With Auto Key disabled, add a matching key at that time before dragging.
• Release the pointer inside a valid interaction instead of cancelling or changing focus.
• Confirm that the target is a real Group channel rather than a virtual endpoint track.

A hand or foot will not solve

• Confirm the hand or foot endpoint and its semantic role in Pivot Skeleton.
• Use one connected upper and lower Group with distinct pivots.
• Check that the parent and child links point in the intended direction.
• Move an unreachable target closer. Motion Lab clamps at full extension instead of stretching bones.

An operation is rejected

• For in-betweens, select supported transform keys from exactly two pose times.
• For an after-effect, leave enough time before the next artist key.
• Remove expression or unsupported pre/post tracks from the requested operation.
• Keep existing artist keys out of a generated span that would overwrite them.

Secondary motion does not react

• Select the saved setup's first Group and verify its direct root-to-end path.
• Animate the driver or one of its parents, not the simulated followers.
• Check whether an authored follower rotation key is intentionally pausing the live response.
• Remove overlapping, interrupted, or stale setups instead of forcing an ambiguous path.

The rig needs a feature outside this beta
