When is the animation editor window going to get an overhaul?

    We just did a project where we had to use many animations in one controller and the current interface is brutal.

    Can we at least see a search/filter bar?

    Is everyone else using some third party tool I am not aware of? Please enlighten me.

    I will be most grateful :D

    Generally people use external software to make anything else than very simple animations. The Animation window is decent for making doors that open and simple UI animations and those kinds of things. If you're animating a model, you really want eg. Blender.

    Thanks for the reply but if you are adding many animations to a single animator the current UI is very painful to select any of the clips for inspection or modification.

    Some simple editor UI updates are in order.
