# Import Animations

Open **Imports › Animations** to import and process a motion capture.

## Import iOS 6DoF CSV…

Select an iOS 6DoF motion capture. Use the controls below to process it before saving.

## Preview

Test the processed capture before saving it. Preview data stays in memory only until the instance closes.

## Source File

Shows the imported CSV source. This field is read-only.

## Transform

### Position Offset

Offsets a point on the moving capture in centimeters. Use it to change the motion pivot while keeping the first pose at zero.

### Rotation Offset

Rotates the motion axes in degrees around X, Y, and Z. The first pose remains at zero.

### Up Axis

Choose **X** , **Y** , or **Z** as the capture’s up axis. Mirage rotates that axis onto Y. **Y** preserves the native iOS capture axes.

### Flip Horizontal

Mirrors the capture horizontally. Use it when the motion should travel in the opposite horizontal direction.

### Master Gain

Scales the imported animation’s position and rotation. **1** keeps the normal strength; **0** removes the motion.

### Rotation Gain

Scales rotation separately from position. Use it after Master Gain to adjust how much the glass turns.

## Temporal

### Trim Start

Sets the first capture frame to keep. Frame numbers start at **0**.

### Trim End

Sets the last capture frame to keep. The selected end frame is included.

### Default End Mode

Choose **Loop** or **Loop-ease** as the saved animation’s default playback mode. You can change the mode later in [Movement › End of Clip](https://videovillage.com/learn/mirage/full-guide/movement#end-of-clip).

### Loop Ease %

Available with Loop-ease. Sets the percentage of the clip used to blend back to the first pose. **20** uses the final **20%**. This control uses a 0–100 percentage; Movement’s Ease % uses a 0–1 fraction.

### Low-pass Width (frames)

Smooths the capture with a Gaussian filter. The value is the filter’s standard deviation in frames. **0** disables smoothing. Increase it to reduce fast movement or small shakes.

### High-pass Width (frames)

Removes a smoothed baseline from the motion. The value sets the Gaussian baseline width in frames. **0** preserves slow motion. Use it to remove slow drift while retaining faster changes.

## Name

Enter a name for the processed animation so you can find it in the animation library.

## Save

Saves the processed capture in Mirage’s animation library. Save motion you want to reuse, then select it under [Movement › Animation](https://videovillage.com/learn/mirage/full-guide/movement#animation).

### Reviewing imported motion

Set [Cache](https://videovillage.com/learn/mirage/full-guide/interface#cache) to **Off** while reviewing the animation. Imported clips use their saved capture rate; use [Movement](https://videovillage.com/learn/mirage/full-guide/movement#animation-speed-and-time-offset) to change playback speed and timing.
