Techniques for motion editing for character animations

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to retime segments included in character animations by performing the steps of:

• displaying a set of keyposes associated with a character animation along an animation timeline;
• receiving a selection of a plurality of keyposes included in the set of keyposes, the plurality of keyposes defining a selected segment included in the character animation;
• receiving a command to expand or contract the selected segment along the animation timeline, wherein the command specifies an updated segment;
• and
• executing one or more retiming operations on the selected segment to generate the updated segment.

A computer system comprising:

• a memory that includes instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that is coupled to the memory and, upon executing the instructions, retime segments included in character animations by performing the steps of:
• displaying a set of keyposes associated with a character animation along an animation timeline;
• receiving a selection of a plurality of keyposes included in the set of keyposes, the plurality of keyposes defining a selected segment included in the character animation;
• receiving a command to expand or contract the selected segment along the animation timeline, wherein the command specifies an updated segment;
• and
• executing one or more retiming operations on the selected segment to generate the updated segment.
