Raffael,
This is a bug with collapse and it doesn't work well when
the source animation is on the mixer.
The workaround in this case is to first plot or apply you
mocap data on the character as fcurves. After that you can layer, collapse
and store your collapsed animation as a new action as
expected.
Let us know if this works.

I'm surprised that you are not getting the same result
after collapsing the layers, it's really just plotting the mixer.
What is on the mixer, is it complex, do you have stuff muted
perhaps?

if I paste the mocap onto
the character, add layers etc then I can do it. working directly having
animation in the mixer and adding animation layers this does not work
correctly, it seems.

I just animate and add layers I could do what you suggest. but my scenario
is having mocap in the mixer and animating on top of it.

where it seems to fall apart...

I want to
use animation layers in 6 to offset animation from stuff like mocap. but
I need then to bring it back into XSI 5. I thought that would be simple
you just collapse the layers and it applies them as f curves. however
that seems not really to work, I have a "normal" mocap clip in the
mixer. whatever I get after collapse isnt the same animation that I
created.
any tips or ideas on the matter would be helpful.
thanks
