Subject : Mixer Headaches - Help Needed
In need of some serious help from anyone.

One of the animators here has a character with keyframe animation.  In
the middle of the sequence, they want to insert aniamtion from a clip,
so they used the mixer to place the clip where they want it.  Now they
have asked me to merge the clip animation into the keyframe animation -
WITHOUT PLOTTING.  They stil want to be able to tweak the fcurves so
merging the lips in the mixer is not an option.

So I tried this.  

1) I froze the clip to a new source (so as to make sure the animation
was placed over the crrect frames). 
2) I duplicated the character and applied the frozen clip 
3) I tried copying the keys from the copied character using the Dope
Sheet and tried to paste them to the original characters's Dope Sheet.  

Lo and behold, it doesn't seem to work.

Anyone have any ideas why the copy and paste doesn't work?  Is it a bug
or am I doing somehtin wrong?
