    Hey guys

    I'm seeing some strange behavoir which seems rare but for some reason not on my current project.

    Basically, with some animations, if I tick the mirror state in an animation controller, the mirror version of the state is having some cycle offset, everytime, in fact it's a cycle offset of exactly 0.5 every time.

    non mirrored version is fine, if i set the cycle offset to 0.5 myself this then returns it to the expected look, anyone else had this?

    thanks

    Can confirm on version 2017.4 LTS. Mirror Parameter need also offset cycle correction of 0.5f. That gave me a lot of headaches.

    yes this is expected.

    when you work with sync motion, mirroring a clip also offset the whole clip to still have synchronized phases across all your clip.

    So when you blend at normalizeTime 0, all your clip will be exactly at the same phases
