It supports multiple track types including animations, audio, Cinemachine cameras, particle effects, visual effects, and signal-based scripting triggers.

Key features include animation blending, keyframe recording, time dilation for slow-motion effects, and integration with external tools like Alembic for complex 3D animations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
