Animation Clip Sampler

Use Animation Clip Sampler to pose a character in the open scene at an exact time from an AnimationClip. Use it to inspect a contact pose, compare alignment, or leave a character in a reference pose. Open , then select Animation > Animation Clip Sampler.

Inputs

Field	Purpose
Character Game Object	Scene object that receives sampled transform values. Prefab and model assets are invalid.
Animation Clip	Visible `AnimationClip` to sample. Hidden preview clips are rejected.
Sample Time	Time in seconds, clamped between zero and the clip length.
Time	Slider for the same sample time after you assign a clip.

Use Use Selected Character for the active Hierarchy object. Use Use Selected Clip for the selected Project clip.

Sample a pose

Assign the scene character

Drag the character root from the Hierarchy into Character Game Object.

Assign the clip

Drag an animation into Animation Clip, or select it and click Use Selected Clip.

Choose the time

Enter Sample Time or use the Time slider.

Apply the pose

Click Sample Animation. The status reports the clip, time, and target.

Sampling writes transform values to the scene hierarchy, records prefab-instance overrides, and marks the scene dirty. Use Unity Undo if you only needed a temporary pose. The tool creates no animation asset.

The operation succeeds when the Scene view updates and the tool reports the sampled clip and character.
