Why do my characters lose feet continuity?

The continuity of the feet position when blending different motions is done by an algorithm called Synchronization.

A prerequisite of this algorithm is the fact that footprints are defined for each motion in the Locomotion Behavior and these motions only contain one and only one walk cycle (i.e. 2 footsteps for a biped, or more generally one support phase per channel). The only exceptions to this rule are the neutral / starting motions. 

If the motions cannot be used for synchronization,  you will experience problems like playing the same feet twice or bumps (see below)
