Was learning about Timeline in one of Unity Learn's projects, but the project I was doing had you create an animation with the animation track before they taught you how to actually make an animation clip with Timeline! Not only that, but what's taken me about 30-40 minutes to learn in Unity Learn, you've taught in less than 9 minutes. I miss you, Brackeys.
I just have to say, the folks at Brackeys make the best Unity Tutorials out there. I found a tutorial made by Unity on relatively the same thing that was almost 1 hour long and 25 min in I realized I wasn't getting very far. Sure enough Brackeys had a 8.5 minute tutorial on the same thing that is very clearly explained while keeping it straight to the point. Thank you all so much!
7:16 maybe the sound doesn't play because sound preview is disabled in your scene view (at the top next to 2D mode toggle, light preview, and left to screen effects preview toggle)
I always wanted to know how to animate two different objects in unity and I finally got the answer after watching this video. Thanks a lot Brackeys! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks to this tutorial, I was able to easily animate a sprite beginning in Idle, run to the right - while playing running anim, then stop - returning back to idle anim. Many years later and this channel is still massively valuable resource.
From the end of 2022, never used Timeline before, I looking for any reviews, and I'm here, on 5-years old Brackeys video! It's not very professional, examples are not very production relevant, but such a positive, chill and simple review of unity tool is what I was exactly looking for and Brackeys is perfect at it. I just want to say thank you for all your work!
Really love this channel, I'm new to Unity and I do know C++ (yes I know we use C# in Unity, but for the programming basics it's good to know already C++) very well. But Unity and creating simple games is completely different. Currently at part 11 of the tower defense battle tutorial (in 1 day :D), after watching almost all your simple and small tutorials. The reason why I love your channel is because the tutorials are short and only filled with information you need, keep it up! :D
This tutorial is crystal clear and explained what's a timeline effectively, however I wish this tutorial would further extend to some practical uses of it by using the animator instead of deleting it. Obviously keyframing shouldn't be done in unity.
Can you set the "target" game object of the timeline at runtime? Let's say I want to animate a human to play some animation (they all have the same rig and animator etc) but I can't drag the game object in the timeline editor, because the object is spawned at runtime. They already have animations, basically I just want to "swap" the animator reference of the timeline at runtime.
I don't know how many times you got me out of sticky situations at the office (as an intern at that). Thanks a lot for all the knowledge you have shared with us :)
Fantastic work Brackeys. I always enjoy your tutorials. It's refreshing seeing high quality and unique tutorials from fellow Unity users. We should collaborate on something one day. Could be a cool video or project.
It would be good if you could see the audio's preview on the timeline (The same that you see when you select an AudioClip), so you could sync things better without having to play the game
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! Timeline is very exciting I can't wait to get stuck in to using it in my projects! It would be great to see you using Timeline in one of your full/livestream tutorials too, the possibilities seem endless! Thanks again!
But what if I have interactivity inside the scenes? What if I want to show a text box in the middle of the cutscene and wait for the box to finish until continuing. While the textbox is active I want the timeline to pause and loop the last animations. Is this possible in any way?
Hi Brackeys! I would like to say, your videos are awesome and led me to creating my very own video game which I love! Oh, and could I ask you something? Could you please make a Photoshop tutorial on how to generate textures like you generated the grass texture in your Ludum Dare 38 video game? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Hello brackey, i have a question. How would you make a path in order for a specific 3d object to follow, the same way that you make it, lets say in after effects? For eg , what if i want to make a curved path? Is there a way to draw it and paste it as keyframes to the position of the 3d object? Thanks in advance.
Great vid! I have two questions. #1.. Could you make a tutorial for an arcade style attract mode in unity? #2.. How do I make a new scene appear when the cut scene ends? You are my favorite youtuber! Thanks for introducing me to unity.
My objects do not animate like yours. Im using 2d and my sprites already have animations on them. Does this only work in 3d and with gameobjects that has no other animations?
This timeline seems great but to be fair is a pain in the ass to get things done, most of the time u can't just overwrite some parts of the animation have to done everything from scratch right in the first try, soo annoying... and u can't use multiple clipes on the same object u have to do all in one giant clip cus the timeline can't handle it beside the multiple bugs likee, i'm justtrying to rotate my camera and for some reason the editor throws the empty camera to outside of unity cordinate system... such bad done timeline, even pivot animator is better.
You can add your cutscene whenever you want to just reference it in your script. I used this video to help me too, ua-cam.com/video/pru5sx_hqeE/v-deo.html
Someone can tell me if i can add animated cutscenes to a unity game? But not an animated scene using the game engine like this one, i mean animated scenes like the ones saw at the professor Layton games. :( I hope someone will response me
Thank you for taking the time to create all these great videos! Do you have any information or leads on how one can go about creating a basic scene from scratch. By this i mean suppose i have two character. Actor 1 says something o actor 2. Actor two gets mad and perform s a custom movement. And so on? I have been really trying to figure out how to make films using either unity or unreal but all the tutorials i have come across seem to rely on pre-rigged characters with movements that have already been embed into them. Isn't there a way to just set up a scene import and animate your characters?
Thank for your video. Please make a tutorial to export movie from your preview window!!!! (No screen capture please!!!!!)You can't make movie without exporting image sequence. You're the 6th video I saw talking about Unity timeline to make movie but no one explain how to export like UDK 4 sequencer with its "export movie" icon... Thank you
Hey Brackeys!! I saw that awhile back you created a script that used perlin noise to change height values and such and I was wondering (aka using this sorta thing for a project i'm working on) if there was possibly a way to do somewhat the same thing but with prefabs?? If there isn't it's whatever i guess i can make the game non-procedural, but i would love it if you could (or anyone who sees this) show me some sort of reference if someone else has done it before? (hope that made sense, my English doesn't always make sense even though it's my first language :P)
in unity 2017 when i drag the the prefab in animation slot ( in timeline) its position changes to origin ... that's too annoying ... how to solve this problem ???
This is a while ago, so I am not sure if it is useful for you now, but this is how I solved it: Create an empty game object that is set to the position where you want to start the timeline. Animate the prefab you want in the timeline Drag the prefab as a child to the empty game object Cons: If it is the child, the timeline preview position is off, but working correctly in play mode If it is not the child, the timeline preview position is correct, but not at the right position in the play mode. A really weird work-around, but it worked for me. Just animate in the timeline and drag it as a child when you want to test it in play mode.
What if i want a sound to be played at a certain area? I tried dragging an empty gameobject with an audio component so that i could control it, but its not working. What am i missing?
Awesome Video like always :) I'm looking for a tutorial for a sword animation and combat I can't get it working, could you make a video on it or link me to a good tutorial you know, thanks :)
I'm using a teleporting circle collider (for 2d) called HitBox that the weapon teleports to an invisible cursor in front of the character. The has a script that if it touches an enemy it will do damage(according to the equipped weapon) and will do a Knockback force according to where the Player is and where the enemy is. Lastly it will check if it moved from it's idle position and if it did it will stay in place for a desired number of frames and will teleport back to the idle position(outside the game map).
So how you mentioned you can import animations in, could you also import an entire cutscene in (even though it is kind of pointless considering this is a cutscene maker :P)?
Literally the only tutorial that explains clearly the relation between the node, the timeline, the animation tracks, etc. THANK YOU. Without you, unity wouldn't be worth s**t.
Brackeys is The best :).
Most obvious thing ever
Here here
Without a doubt

Give that man a medal
Give that medal a man
I was looking for something to help me with a cutscene all day and of course brackeys has a perfect tutorial waiting for me. Thanks again
Thank you! This was a perfect summation of the basics of the tool set for anyone who just wants to quickly get started working with timeline.
This was a very succinct breakdown of the timeline. Was exactly what I was looking for. Nice work and thank you
I just have to say, the folks at Brackeys make the best Unity Tutorials out there.

It’d be awesome if you could make a video about integrating a cutscene in your game
I recently discovered the timeline and when I did I was amazed and then I came here to learn how it works
7:16 maybe the sound doesn't play because sound preview is disabled in your scene view (at the top next to 2D mode toggle, light preview, and left to screen effects preview toggle)

Awesome introduction tutorial ( as always ). But mad props to Unity for adding this to the default engine. Amazingly simple yet expandable.
nobody talks about how big his eyebrows are
Great explanation , looking for new game tutorials using the timeline !
Really love this channel, I'm new to Unity and I do know C++ (yes I know we use C# in Unity, but for the programming basics it's good to know already C++) very well. But Unity and creating simple games is completely different.

Please something about Sprite Mesh Editor and bones for 2D games, nice video
I can't hit the record button like in 2:14. Is there any change in the method in 2019?
@@El_Hoy_Garcia seems like the method has changed now. I animate it and add the track separately. That works fine for me
I don't know how many times you got me out of sticky situations at the office (as an intern at that). Thanks a lot for all the knowledge you have shared with us :)
Nice tutorial! Would love to see a new tutorial about using cinemachine with timeline!
On unity 2020.2.0a17 (64-bit) it gives me an error that says “Keyframing rotation is not supported!” Anyone know how to help?
Guys, please help me! It says I have a "NullReferenceException". I don't know what to do.
Nevermind, I just had to restart unity...
I have the same problem and I still have it after restarting Unity. Any ideas?

How to make score like this: 1000 = 1k; 1000k = 1m; 1000m = 1b etc? (1234 = 1.23k / 1234567 = 1.23m)
Fantastic work Brackeys. I always enjoy your tutorials. It's refreshing seeing high quality and unique tutorials from fellow Unity users. We should collaborate on something one day. Could be a cool video or project.
Your Here Too???
YEEEEESSS
HI
RetroBandit1.0 indeed
Brackeyes is a serious legend. 40 minutes video doesn't equivalent to this 9 minutes video. How cool! You get what you are looking for, always.
i was think make a cutscene will really hard and now i can learn how to make one for 8 min :)
thank you, very much
can you please make a video on how to use control track, playable track in timeline
como coloca sons das falas dos personagens na cutscene?
6:35 ele coloca o som do carro então acho que se fosse falas seriam do mesmo jeito
It's something I never knew unity had such a hand. After I had a hard time coding the cutscenes to create them
It would be good if you could see the audio's preview on the timeline (The same that you see when you select an AudioClip), so you could sync things better without having to play the game
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! Timeline is very exciting I can't wait to get stuck in to using it in my projects!
It would be great to see you using Timeline in one of your full/livestream tutorials too, the possibilities seem endless!
Thanks again!
why tutorials always skip the EXPORTING!!!!!!!!!!!
this isnt a full game tutorial……….. there are a lot of export tutorials
How to play cutscene with OnTriggerEnter like for Exiting the level through a door kinda stuff
Can you make a game like The Trail?
But what if I have interactivity inside the scenes? What if I want to show a text box in the middle of the cutscene and wait for the box to finish until continuing. While the textbox is active I want the timeline to pause and loop the last animations. Is this possible in any way?
Hi Brackeys!
I would like to say, your videos are awesome and led me to creating my very own video game which I love!
Oh, and could I ask you something?
Could you please make a Photoshop tutorial on how to generate textures like you generated the grass texture in your Ludum Dare 38 video game?

For eg , what if i want to make a curved path? Is there a way to draw it and paste it as keyframes to the position of the 3d object?
Thanks in advance.
Better than Unity tutorials!
Why sometimes my object rotation from inverse direction and make it like 360
Great vid! I have two questions. #1.. Could you make a tutorial for an arcade style attract mode in unity? #2.. How do I make a new scene appear when the cut scene ends? You are my favorite youtuber! Thanks for introducing me to unity.
This guy....is in my heart
I would like to know if the cameras can be moved
Why Don’t You Make Good Unity3D Tutorials and Upload it to UDEMY!! That will be nice!!
Thank you!
One more question. How can I play the timeline with a trigger ? (Specially a reactor from Mona …)
at 2:19, the record button does not record the movement of the object in the scene. What could be the cause of this?
please make a how to make a you tube simulator in unity
Does it work for UI? Having a bit of trouble here...
Ping pong? why is it not called boomerang?
My objects do not animate like yours. Im using 2d and my sprites already have animations on them. Does this only work in 3d and with gameobjects that has no other animations?
This timeline seems great but to be fair is a pain in the ass to get things done, most of the time u can't just overwrite some parts of the animation have to done everything from scratch right in the first try, soo annoying... and u can't use multiple clipes on the same object u have to do all in one giant clip cus the timeline can't handle it beside the multiple bugs likee, i'm justtrying to rotate my camera and for some reason the editor throws the empty camera to outside of unity cordinate system... such bad done timeline, even pivot animator is better.
This is fantastic! Can you do a tutorial that meshes Timeline with Cinemachine?!?!
I really like how unity is going and I literally love how good these tutorials are
Soryy for calling you annoying lmao your actually helpful....
Sorry but i have a problem it said '' keyframing on the humanoid rig is not supported" while i am animating my character in scene
Hey, I have a question, Can I use this to make a cutscene before my character start moving?
You can add your cutscene whenever you want to just reference it in your script. I used this video to help me too, ua-cam.com/video/pru5sx_hqeE/v-deo.html
This is VERY VERY helpful thanks brackey
how do we continue the game after a cutscene? Can somebody help me? Do we disable the cutscene or something?
Someone can tell me if i can add animated cutscenes to a unity game? But not an animated scene using the game engine like this one, i mean animated scenes like the ones saw at the professor Layton games. :( I hope someone will response me
But, I actually do have animated assets, baked from Maya..
Thank you very much. You are best !!!
Humvee TYRES are not Moving.... :(
I dont' get it, my object doesnt move smoothly it just goes from position 1 to position 2 instantly. What am I doing wrong?
change the frames to secs and increase the time
love the way you cut to the chase with no nonsense. Thanks
Question does anyone know what the .bin files are in a unity project ?

why the hell is my cube not moving with the dragging
i watched today find it useful .. i think i'm not late
One question . Can you make an animation clip that can be used in your animation controller using timeline ?
You figure this out? Looking for the same info
ur the best of best i hope u will start teaching unreal engine too
Brackeys ... pbr assets, seriously! :)
You are great! Thanks for explain!
This new feature is availble in the free version ?
yes
Nice ! Thanks :D
yes!
yeah
Every feature on the core engine is free , pro/plus only have the services advantage.

This is a while ago, so I am not sure if it is useful for you now, but this is how I solved it:

If it is not the child, the timeline preview position is correct, but not at the right position in the play mode.
A really weird work-around, but it worked for me. Just animate in the timeline and drag it as a child when you want to test it in play mode.
Unity 2017.2 adds sound waveform in timeline and has animation masks and overrides
What if i want a sound to be played at a certain area? I tried dragging an empty gameobject with an audio component so that i could control it, but its not working. What am i missing?
Heyyy, what to do if I want to create an android game?
that's awesome.... still make videos of timeline and gameplay after cinematic.... I need it 😍😍😍
so how do you render this into a video? Its not clear to me at all
Hi
thanks a lot for your tutorials.
Awesome Video like always :) I'm looking for a tutorial for a sword animation and combat I can't get it working, could you make a video on it or link me to a good tutorial you know, thanks :)

So how you mentioned you can import animations in, could you also import an entire cutscene in (even though it is kind of pointless considering this is a cutscene maker :P)?
JustAVirus 1.0 depends on how your cutscene is setup , but youay have to tweek the tracks .
i can't see the timeline option under windows :|
Can you do a video on script just script plz
Comment till it's 420 then don't anymore
Ah Damn.. Need help, I clic, and it's you. Still you. Usefull you. And you're not there anymore. But how do I will find answers now ! snif ;)
I noticed the animation is automatically created on a curve, is it possible to convert into a liner curve for smooth rotations?
Literally the only tutorial that explains clearly the relation between the node, the timeline, the animation tracks, etc. THANK YOU. Without you, unity wouldn't be worth s**t.
في حد عربي شاف الفيديو ده
Is the timeline only meant for cutscenes or also "gameplay" cutscenes?
