  Excellent addon, any chance to add the option to control the animation speed of the strip? There is an option in the NLA to animate the reproduction speed without messing with the frame rate or the time stretching. With that feature, the addon will be a 10/10.

  Thanks for the review and feedback. Current version 2.1.2.1 is also included with speed and offset controls, as well as other new updates (only from Blender 3.2). Speed and offset are also included in the smart bake and will apply the new keyframes positions accordingly.

  This was sorely needed in Blender. Works great, one of the best add-ons I have used so far

  A very useful Add-on for animating more complex scenes. Especially for living creatures, it makes natural movements so much easier and speeds up the whole workflow.
  However, there are some features missing and some minor bugs which don't make sense. For example, you can change the influence of the layers like in the NLA editor but you cannot change the speed of the individual layers. That's one feature that I miss quite often.
  Another thing I noticed is that the arrows to change the order of the layers sometimes don't work for certain layers. Saving the project and restarting blender usually fixes this though.
  There are more of those small bugs which mainly appear if you work with a lot of layers. But none of those will ruin your animations or project.
  Generally, the advantages of this Add-on outweigh the flaws by a lot. Definitely worth the price if you want a better version of the NLA editor.

  Thanks for the review and feedback. Current version 2.1.2.1 is also included with speed and offset controls, as well as other new features. These settings are also included in the smart bake. I've started rewriting the addon for Blender 3.2 and it should eventually be better synched with the NLA, if you are still running into any issue please feel free to contact me via Blendermarket's contact creator option

  A friend recommended me this.
  I usually animate everything in a single action and have to admit, making transitions between several "stages" can be a bit painful.

  With Animation Layers it's an absolute breeze.
  Definitely 28$ well spent and will recommend it to my fellow animators!

  AL makes animation in blender much easier - I was used to having layers in other packages so I was very happy to find this add. Instantly started using it and am very happy. Tweaking motion capture with this tool is a piece of cake.

  Took a gamble on buying this instead of having to deal with the NLA editor directly. After 5 minutes of use I can definitely say it was worth it. Intuitive and simple (unlike NLA) and has a few other nice features sprinkled in. If you work with a layered animation technique at all it's highly worth picking this up.

  Good addon but be careful using it in big projects. It will glitch out and permanently ruin your work. Trying to stay away from using it now.

  Hi, thanks for the feedback. If you ran into any issues, please feel free to let me know so I can fix it. You can contact me directly via blendermarket. Would be good to know which Blender version and which addon version you are using and what kind of glitches? are you using library overrides in your project?
