Seamless blending root motion animation and character movement

I think during the blend out time root motion still has control of the capsule velocity until it has fully blended out. I had a similar issue with a state machine with mixed root motion and inplace animations. My solution was to figure out the capsule’s acceleration during the blend out phase and manually inject velocity into the character’s movement component for that short amount of time. If you time it just right you get a seamless blend.

I try to add Velocity to Character movement comp when exit from RM animation and normal movement is begin. It’s working but have some smallest pause. But i have found solution:

1. RM animation and animation for exit must be seamless. Last frames of RM animation = first frames of exit animation
2. I have added intermediate state ExitToRun for smooth exit from ForwardRoll to Run. While player press Forward stick ExitToRun is contiunes playing. Also ExitToRun can enter to Rolls again
3. Any blend time is influenced to Root Motion velocity and make drop down Velocity to zero.

There is my state machine with comments:
