Modifying generated Animator Controllers
The Aseprite Importer generates an Animator Controller if the Aseprite file contains more than one frame, the Import Mode is set to Animated Sprite, and the Animation Clip checkbox is checked in the importer. This Animator Controller is Read-Only, meaning that it cannot be changed. To modify the Animator Controller, please see the Importer FAQ.
