Animation Clips are the smallest building blocks of animation in Unity. They represent an isolated piece of motion, such as RunLeft, Jump, or Crawl, and can be manipulated and combined in various ways to produce lively end results (see Animation State MachinesA graph within an Animator Controller that controls the interaction of Animation States. Each state references an Animation Blend Tree or a single Animation Clip. More info
See in Glossary
, Animator ControllerControls animation through Animation Layers with Animation State Machines and Animation Blend Trees, controlled by Animation Parameters. The same Animator Controller can be referenced by multiple models with Animator components. More info
See in Glossary
, or Blend Trees). You can select Animation Clips from imported FBX data.

When you click on the model containing animation clips, these properties appear:

from this asset.
Import Animation Import animation from this asset.

Note: If disabled, all other options on this page are hidden and no animation is imported.
Bake Animations Bake animations created using IK or Simulation to forward kinematic keyframes.

Only available for Autodesk® Maya®, Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Cinema 4D files.
Resample Curves Resample animation curves as Quaternion values and generate a new Quaternion keyframe for every frame in the animation.

This option is enabled by default.
Disable this to keep animation curves as they were originally authored this only if you’re having issues with the interpolation between keys in your original animation

Only appears if the import file contains Euler curves.
Anim. Compression The type of compressionA method of storing data that reduces the amount of storage space it requires. See Texture Compression3D Graphics hardware requires Textures to be compressed in specialised formats which are optimized for fast Texture sampling. More info
See in Glossary
, Animation Compression, Audio Compression, Build Compression.
See in Glossary
to use when importing the animation.
Off Disable animation compressionThe method of compressing animation data to significantly reduce file sizes without causing a noticable reduction in motion quality. Animation compression is a trade off between saving on memory and image quality. More info
See in Glossary
. This means that Unity doesn’t reduce keyframeA frame that marks the start or end point of a transition in an animation. Frames in between the keyframes are called inbetweens.
See in Glossary
count on import, which leads to the highest precision animations, but slower performance and bigger file and runtime memory size. It is generally not advisable to use this option - if you need higher precision animation, you should enable keyframe reduction and lower allowed Animation Compression Error values instead.
Keyframe ReductionA process that removes redundant keyframes. More info
See in Glossary
Reduce redundant keyframes on import. If selected, the Animation Compression Errors options are displayed. This affects both file size (runtime memory) and how curves are evaluated.
Keyframe Reduction and Compression Reduce keyframes on import and compress keyframes when storing animations in files. This affects only file size - the runtime memory size is the same as Keyframe Reduction. If selected, the Animation Compression Errors options are displayed.
Optimal Let Unity decide how to compress, either by keyframe reduction or by using dense format.

Only for Generic and Humanoid Animation Type rigs.
Animation Compression Errors Only available when Keyframe Reduction or Optimal compression is enabled.
Rotation Error How much to reduce rotation curves. The smaller the value, the higher the precision.
Position Error How much to reduce position curves. The smaller the value, the higher the precision.
Scale Error How much to reduce scale curves. The smaller the value, the higher the precision.
Animated Custom Properties Import any FBX properties that you designated as custom user properties.

Unity only supports a small subset of properties when importing FBX files (such as translation, rotation, scale and visibility). However, you can treat standard FBX properties like user properties by naming them in your importer script via the extraUserProperties member. During import, Unity then passes any named properties to the Asset postprocessor just like ‘real’ user properties.

You can perform these tasks in this area of the Rig tab:

Clip-specific properties

Import options for the selected Animation clip
Import options for the selected Animation clip

This area of the Rig tab displays these features:

A The (editable) name of the selected clip

B The animation clip timeline

C Clip properties to control looping and pose

D Expandable sections for: defining curves, events, masks, and motion roots; and viewing messages from the import process

You can set these properties separately for each animation clip defined within this asset:

Property: Function:
Area A (editable name)
The name of the source take The take in the source file to use as a source for this animation clip.

This is what defines a set of animation as separated in Motionbuilder, Autodesk® Maya® and other 3D packages. Unity can import these takes as individual clips. You can create them from the whole file or from a subset of frames.
Area B (timeline features)
The timeline editor You can use the drag the start and end indicators around the timelineGeneric term within Unity that refers to all features, windows, editors, and components related to creating, modifying, or reusing cut-scenes, cinematics, and game-play sequences. More info

to define frame ranges for each clip.
Start Start frame of the clip.
End End frame of the clip.
Area C (looping and pose control)
Loop Time Play the animation clip through and restart when the end is reached.
Loop Pose Loop the motion seamlessly.
Cycle Offset Offset to the cycle of a looping animation, if it starts at a different time.
Root Transform Rotation
Bake into Pose Bake root rotation into the movement of the bones. Disable to store as root motionMotion of character’s root node, whether it’s controlled by the animation itself or externally. More info

Import Messages Expand this section to see detailed information about how your animation was imported, including an optional RetargetingApplying animations created for one model to another. More info

Quality Report
.

Creating clips is essentially defining the start and end points for segments of animation. In order for these clips to loop, they should be trimmed in such a way to match the first and last frame as best as possible for the desired loop.

Animation import warnings

If any problems occur during the animation import process, a warning appears at the top of the Animations Import inspector:

Animation import warning messages
Animation import warning messages

The warnings do not necessarily mean your animation has not imported or doesn’t work. It may just mean that the imported animation looks slightly different from the source animation.

To see more information, expand the Import Messages section:

Animation import warning messages
Animation import warning messages

In this case, Unity has provided a Generate Retargeting Quality Report option which you can enable to see more specific information on the retargeting problems.

Other warning details you may see include the following:

  • Default bone length found in this file is different from the one found in the source avatarAn interface for retargeting animation from one rig to another. More info
    See in Glossary
    .
  • Inbetween bone default rotation found in this file is different from the one found in the source avatar.
  • Source avatar hierarchy doesn’t match one found in this model.
  • This animation has Has translation animation that will be discarded.
  • Humanoid animationAn animation using humanoid skeletons. Humanoid models generally have the same basic structure, representing the major articulate parts of the body, head and limbs. This makes it easy to map animations from one humanoid skeleton to another, allowing retargeting and inverse kinematics. More info
    See in Glossary
    has inbetween transforms and rotation that will be discarded.
  • Has scale animation that will be discarded.

These messages indicate that some data present in your original file was omitted when Unity imported and converted your animation to its own internal format. These warnings essentially tell you that the retargeted animation may not exactly match the source animation.

Note: Unity does not support pre- and post-extrapolate modes (also known as pre- and post-infinity modes) other than constant, and converts these to constant when imported.
