Searching
The search box at the top of the modal fuzzy-matches against clip names. Type "jump" to find every jump-related clip across categories. Type "left" to find every clip biased to the left side. Press Esc to close the modal.
Skeleton overlay
Toggle Skeleton in the top-right of the modal to repaint every cell with the bone wireframe overlay. Useful for sanity-checking that retargeting is working — if a clip's wireframe looks like spaghetti, it's a bad clip and Charios will warn you on apply.
Preview vs apply
- Single-click a card → preview on the right canvas only. The Animation slot in the right rail stays empty.
- Double-click → apply. The Animation slot fills with the clip name. Charios saves the choice with your project so it re-applies on next open.
- Radio button (top-right of each card) → add to the selected anims list for multi-clip GIF export.
After applying
- Adjust playback speed: Apply a clip to your character.
- Bring your own custom mocap: Bring your own mocap.
- See multiple clips side-by-side: Anim-check: see 9 clips at once.
- Drive the character with the keyboard: Test-run your character.
