    I'm using Legacy / animation component and this problem appeared recently. (maybe around Patch 5.4.1p3)

    All clips play fine when I hit play button. I can create new clips and it will also work, but the clips won't "play/preview" in the editor's inspector window.

    I get this warning:

    The legacy Animation Clip "__preview__Take 001" cannot be used in the State "preview". Legacy AnimationClips are not allowed in Animator Controllers.To use this animation in this Animator Controller, you must reimport in as a Generic or Humanoid animation clip
    UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

    I have no Animator Controller on my object.

    I know they're pushing the animator controller instead of animation but is this gone forever?

    I hope not :(

    This looks like a bug in the previewer.
    You can submit a bug with your file, and we'll take care of it

    Same here, we switched from 5.4.0 to 5.4.1p4 and while I wasn't working on project with Legacy animations I didnt notice it, but today with other project I found out that legacy aniamtion are not destined to be previewed :D.

    same message:

    Please file a bug report with your file where it doesn't work. The previous bug is fixed now, so it's most certainly a different way it can fail.
