    Great course! For some reason when I edit my animation to adjust for penetrations the bones just snap back, otherwise everything worked great for me! Now to try to figure out how my rig gets snapped back on me...

    (edit) Two minutes later... I think I found how this happened, I merged three clips together first, not sure why it did that, maybe it creates extra keys. Went back to one clip at a time and edit motion layer is working great!

Never Stop Learning.
