I have am testing the transition between 2 clips in a crowd sim. I only have those 2 clips enabled, and I can see that they have a connection in the Transition Graph. The problem occurs when I queue the transition on a specific frame. Houdini is telling me that the frame Clip B is similar to Clip A is on frame 435, but I know that the frames don't match up until 438, and I can't work around it. If I try and set up a custom transition at 438, the transition is just skipped. Anyone know a way to either force the transition to happen at the appropriate frame, or tell my why Houdini is interpreting my clip incorrectly. Thanks!

There appears to be a 1 frame difference between fbx loaded on disk, versus character rigs loaded from inside Houdini. The character rigs are more accurate, but also weigh the scene down. Try testing those two clips using character rigs in scene.
