    I have in my script a ref to my PlayableDirector, and I want to get the animators (i.e 'Button' in the first track in the picture)
    I tried the code below, but it only returns clips for tracks that have them specifically (like the second animation track). For the first track I get nothing, but still want to access the Animator somehow. Any idea how to do that?

    Code (CSharp):
    1. var timelineAsset = myPlayableDirector.playableAsset as TimelineAsset;
    2. foreach (var track in timelineAsset.GetOutputTracks())
    3. {
    4.     var animTrack = track as AnimationTrack;
    5.     if (animTrack != null)
    6.     {
    7.         foreach (var clips in animTrack.GetClips())
    8.         {
    9.  
    10.         }
    11.     }
    12. }
    13.
