Appreciate you dropping ‘the’ Motherload on Control Rig from scratch.
You got to add one last detail to stick the landing.

Towards the end you modify the baked key data in the sequencer. That induce a pop in the animation. Instead show that you can add offset animation by :

  • Select the baked control rig Right in the sequencer . Right click > add group > new group

  • Select that group and click Section > Additive. An empty layer for that channel should be added to your timeline

  • Key that empty layer to add offset animation over your baked animation so get the best of both worlds (i.e no animation pops )

Cheers,
