    Hello!
    In my app I am creating a timeline dynamically from code, using some UI buttons, which add animations to it. What I need is to send this timeline (PlayableAsset possibly) over TCP to an Android device to play it later. I cannot find any docs on Timeline serialization, so how would this be done, if possible?
    Thanks in advance!

    This isn't something I've tried, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you can serialize gameobjects, then in theory you should be able to serialize a timeline.

    The challenge is timeline uses many subassets. Timelines, TrackAsset, Markers/Signals, and the PlayableAssets on the clips are all individual ScriptableObjects. So, all of those assets would need to be included in the serialization.
