Hey, 
 
Is the animation in the base layer derived from an Action in the Animation Mixer?  If so, I believe this was a limitation of using animation layers.  I thought it may have been resolved in version 6.01.  
 
If your are using an Action to drive the rig, I would mute thr layers, apply the Action source back onto the rig, and then unmute and collapse the layers.  This should work.

Subject: Animation layer collapsing


When I hit the collapse button in the animation layer manager, the animation in that layer is simply removed instead of being merged with the base layer, I get the exact same result if I just mute the layer, the character jumps back to it's old position after the collapse. Same thing in 6.01.

I need to transfer all the animation to another rig, but right now I'm not sure how to do it without losing the extra animation in the animation layer.

Basically I just want to plot everything to completely absolute fcurves, one key per frame if I have to. 

I always have the weirdest problems... =) All help is very appreciated, I need to solve this fast!
