This is a tool that designed to edit Animation Events intuitively with Unity’s native Animation Timeline workflow.
Better Animation Events v1.18 (16 Dec 2025)
“Sharing is caring”
Description
I created this tool out of my own frustrations with the native animation system, and my goal is to help reduce some of that frustration for others as well. I will continue improving the package as I rely on it for developing my own action-combat game, so expect regular updates and new features. If you have suggestions or notice areas that could be improved, please feel free to let me know.
(Note: This package might have some limitations, and I am actively working to address and remove some of them)
The tool provides a clean and scalable way to edit Animation Clips containing multiple Events, even in complex or dense timelines. It’s optimized for performance, capable of handling large numbers of events.
All project data is stored using ScriptableObject, allowing clean separation between editable data and the original AnimationClip asset. This ensures that you can freely modify events in the editor without altering the source file until you choose to apply changes.
When applying edits, the tool completely overwrites the original AnimationClip’s events with your updated data.
Designed for scalability, and workflows that require frequent event edits. No setup required.
