    Hi sir, I am working with the cine machine timeline feature in Unity 2019.3.12f1. I have a character model with walk animation. When I added that to my timeline, the character model snaps back to the default start position after playing the walk animation instead of moving forward. I have enabled loop in the walk animation and dragged the animation in timeline so it automatically loops. But my character model does not move forward. It loops from the default start position. Please help.

    Hi, once the clip has the Loop option enabled, you can extend the clip (drag edge)... you will see L1, L2... and your character should keep moving forward during these loops.

    Hi sir, Please check the attachment. I've already extended the clip. But the player does not move forward. He keeps snapping back to the start position.

    Probable because you don't have root motion (root with displacement curves).
    Is your character Humanoid or Generic?
    Can you select your character fbx file in the project folder and give me a screenshot of your Importer > Rig tab?

    Hi sir, My character is generic. I've attached a screenshot of the Rig tab. I have an animator component attached to my character but has no animator controller. "APPLY ROOT MOTION" is already toggled on in the animator component. Please tell me how to enable root motion.

    Assuming the displacement of your character is on the hips or pelvis of your character...
    In the Rig tab, select the hips joint of your character in the "Root node" pull-down and click apply.

    This is basically telling the rig where to find the displacement animation of your character because this can differ depending on your character hierarchy.
