Using animations for a character in timeline/cinemachine ~ General questions

Hi,

So I'm busy animating a scene and am having an issue animating the character in the scene.

For the walking I am using the animations root motion, but towards the end of things I need the character to fall. For which I have an animation, but doing so instantly brings the character back to its starting position, so with this ill have to animate the positions manually(I assume?)

Is there a way to use both the root motion and position keys flipping between the two as needed?

Cheers cheers
