    Hi.

    I have a question about syncing animation between multiple playable director (using same timeline asset).

    If I have 4 playable director and that shows exactly same animations, how to sync if one of it is deactivated and re-activated after a while.

    I tried to set PlayerableDirector.time and Play() in OnEnable, but no lucks.

    Any workaround or ideas are welcome.

    Thanks.

    Something like this should work.

    playableDirector.time = otherDirector.time;
    playableDirector.Play();
    playableDirector.Evaluate();

    The Evaluate will cause the timeline to be evaluated _this_ frame at that time, as opposed to the next.
