Timeline - Documentation now available

Thank you! I must say I like the structuring, very clear and easy to find information.

I hope there will also be workflow focused or tutorial-like docs about the scripting side of custom playables. I've seen the DefaultPlayables from the Asset Store and some other examples, but it would be nice to have some walkthroughs for common things.

Two examples I'd like to find in the docs (I might be asking these questions in separate threads to not spam this one):
- Is it possible to retrieve the TrackBinding (or so called 'playerData') object from within other scripts outside of the typical MixerBehaviour? E.g. when writing a custom property drawer for the PlayableBehaviour, I'd like to retrieve the referenced object in the scene.
- Do I have to override GatherProperties or is it optional? When is it usually used? Nothing apparently breaks, when I remove the provided boilerplate code.

 

I'm sorry. This documentation is *woefully* inadequate.

You have five basic types of tracks, and you don't even mention what each track type does. That seems like pretty core information....

 

I have to agree, considering this was the headline feature of 2017 I expected....more.

 

Can we please make the issue that is STILL going on for most users here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/i-love-animating-with-the-timeline-but.524228/#post-3451287

actually be documented well so people know what to look out for?

really silly that this stuff is still tripping people up when there has been official docs since august last year.

 

Is there any way to mute the whole GroupTrack?
The muted properties for the GroupTrack doesn't work when the GroupTrack has children.
And the muted icon doesn't show up in the timeline editor

 

Hi all,

I'm having quite a hard time finding documentation/samples/tutorials about some specific features of the Timeline; can you guys help me ? What I'm looking for is:
- How to use Control Tracks (both from a developper or a designer/animator point of view) ? The timeline section of the Unity Manual doesn't really speak about it... Of course there is the Scripting Api , but it doesn't provide examples or how-to's...
- Some sripting tutorials or exemples about writing custom Playables (using the PlayableBehaviour/PlayableClip/PlayableMixerBehaviour/PlayableTrack system). Again, the Scripting Api is a good source of info about those, but it lacks complete examples, or how-to's...

Ideally I'm looking for video tutorials or downloadable projects, but written tutorials would also be great !

Thanks in advance for your help !
