Batch-build clips
Convert folders of FBX or Maya Binary scenes into reusable Maya ASCII Trax clips while preserving the source files and skipping outputs that already exist.

Editor
A focused module inside Tkv Mocap Tools for turning source animation files into reusable Trax clips, arranging them quickly and finishing the result without rebuilding the timeline by hand.

From source files
to an editable sequence.
Preparing many animation files and rebuilding their timing one clip at a time makes mocap review unnecessarily slow. Trax Editor turns the repeated conversion, import and timeline work into one compact workflow.
Import as a sequence
Select the needed clips, import them into the active Character Set, place them sequentially and fit the playback range to the resulting sequence.
Split, merge and export
Cut clips at the current frame, reorganise the timing, merge the chosen result back into animation and export a new reusable clip.
Technical notes Open details
Safer batch conversion
FBX conversion starts from a clean Z-Up scene and reads each source frame rate. Maya Binary scenes are baked to their joint hierarchy before clip export.
Non-destructive import
Root-name collisions and clear legacy axis mismatches are handled through temporary clip copies. The original exported clip file is never rewritten.
