    Hi everyone - have you tried this:

    Add a cube.
    Add a material to cube.
    Select cube.
    Open animator.
    Add new clip.
    Add Meshrenderer.Material._Color property.
    Animate rgb values from *animator spinners*.
    Stop recording.
    Press play to play game.

    I am having the same issue - it is ridiculous. I can't record any animation.
