    This is one of the best addons to get for animating next to Auto-Rig Pro
    having everything on the side bar without needing to fight with NLA editor and easy to understand is a life-saver, I Was grudging using NLA Editor but this saved my will of animating.
    It makes things easy to adjust, make small movements and even add a entire action, My uses of it so far:
    Making a character step over things without changing the walk loop, Add small movements like ears and eyes moving without changing the walk loop, Jumping and climbing things in the scene without adding it to the character file. It has a easy learning curve.
    It saves a lot of going back and forth to the NLA Editor, And while you could do somethings similiar with the NLA editor it adds a lot of work and agony that this addon saves, And you never need to leave the 3D View.

    This is an awesome add-on. It has cut hours off my workload. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Brilliant!

    This is an essential add-on for animators.
    With animation layers, it serves as a fantastic tool for simplifying animation control and management.
    The ability to quickly add, delete, move, and rename layers is incredibly valuable.

    I have a few requests:

    ◯ Folder Management
    When working on animations, using a large number of layers can make things complicated.
    Being able to organize them efficiently with folders is essential.

    ◯ Importing and Exporting Animation Layers
    Assuming the same object or armature exists,
    it would be great if animation layers could be smoothly imported and exported between different Blender files,
    accessible directly from the animation layer panel.
    This would streamline project workflows and make the process much more convenient.

    Overall, this addon is an immense improvement to the default animation workflow in Blender. It allows for non-destructive animating. I am always a fan of anything non-destructive, as it allows more flexibility if you want to change something.

    I have run into some small issues before - however the developer is quick to respond to my messages and has been able to help me resolve most of my issues within a day. For anything else, I was able to find a workaround.

    My one piece of advice (which is probably common sense) is to be cautious when using this add-on and updating either Blender or the add-on itself. If you're in the middle of a project, it might be best to push off the update until you finish the project. This is to avoid potential issues with existing scenes that may appear after an update.

    Really useful and helpful addon. I was a maya user for over 15 years and knowing the power of animation layers always felt that missing power inside Blender and this addon saved my day.

    Highly recommended.

    Must have plugin for Blender. Every animator needs this functionality. Animation Layers are there by default in Maya and Motion Builder and I am glad such Blender addon exists that brings layers to Blender as well.
