If you have different characters then yes you can, for example I use mecanim for my main character but legacy on animals.
If you want to put a single mecanim animation on a character who uses legacy for all other animations, well I've seen people say they've done that but with mixed results.
If the character you want to animate only has a few animations why not convert them to mecanim, which is easy, do that and switch mecanim for all animations for that character?
I've also seen a youtube video of someone converting a mechanim to legacy but that looked messy as well.
I want to switch to mecanim but i hate the fact how it messes my characters weight paint....Is there a way that i can make it that when i convert my characters to mecanim that it wont mess up my characters animations?
