    Good morning. Since apng files are not supported in unity, could someone explain to me what is the best way to take to get my apng files inside unity ? how can i use them on unity ? I tried to decompress them with the sequence of png files, but a 5 mega apng becomes 60 mega, and this is not acceptable to me, because I have many. Thx

    Just in case you're not aware Unity doesn't use the original format of the files you import in builds. When you import a .png it will use a different format in the library folder and when you make a build it will use that.

    Thanks for your answer, but I don't understand the meaning. What do you mean?

    An APNG is a lossless video format. Unity does not support APNGs, so you'll need to use a different video format that is supported instead. The documentation @c0d3_m0nk3y linked to suggests Apple ProRes or VP8.
