About mixing effects and mixing weight
Assume you have a hammer that is pose-constrained to a giant magnet. Its position parameter is controlled entirely by that relation. If you add a position handle to the hammer and try to move it, it will not budge!
You can modify this with the handle parameters. If you enable "Override other effects" while you are clicking and dragging the hammer, you are disabling the pose constraint. As soon as you release the hammer, it will re-activate the pose constraint and the hammer will return on the magnet.
Enabling "Mix with other effects" allows you to have both the pose constraint and the position handle active at the same time. The mixing weight determines the relative weight of each effect on the hammer's position. If you set the handle's mixing weight to 20, and the pose constraint is at its default mixing weight of 100, the pose constraint will be more powerful. So, clicking and dragging the hammer will only inch it away from the magnet. If you set the handle to 300, you will hardly notice the magnet's effect.
