Introduction

Welcome to Animation Editor Pro, a powerful Blender addon designed to streamline your character animation workflow. This addon provides an intuitive interface for creating, editing, and managing armature/rig animations using Blender's Animation system.

Animation Editor Pro offers:

• Clean and simple interface to create, edit, combine, and refine animation strips in a non-destructive way.
• Stacking (layering) and sequencing animation strips linearly for composing complex animations with visual track preview.
• Procedural displacement for character movement managed through the UI.
• Handle local transitions between animation clips smoothly.
• Convert root motion animations into in-place animations with a single-click non-destructively.
• Create powerful global transitions that affect multiple strips across several tracks at once, overcoming Blender's limitation of only transitioning between two adjacent strips on a single track.
• Easily loop complex animations. With a single click, you can apply a non-destructive cycle across multiple strips and stacked tracks simultaneously.
• Instantly mirror your entire animation or a selected portion, non-destructively and with a single click.
• Modify animation strips by choosing which bones will have effect (using Only Selected Bones), also, with a single-click, and non-destructively.
• Refine animations by splitting bone groups into new animation strips (using Copy Animation).
• Single-click enabling or disabling animation strips (using Mute Strip).
• Bake the final composition into a single action.
• A set of useful utility tools such as bone isolation and restoring for easy keyframing on complex rigs, quick orthographic view selection, and more.

For a detailed look at each of these powerful tools, explore the Key Features section.

Whether you're creating simple character animations or complex multi-action sequences, Animation Editor Pro helps you work faster and more efficiently.
