FaderPlayableAsset

A playable asset for fading Image component in Unity Timeline.

Tutorial

From an empty scene, do the following:

  1. Create an empty GameObject and add a Director component to it
  2. Copy the sequential images in a folder inside the Unity project, preferably under StreamingAssets > Copying to a folder under StreamingAssets will save us from the process to import those images in Unity, which may take a long time if there are a lot of images
  3. Open the Timeline window, if not opened yet

  4. Add a FaderTrack in the Timeline Window

    AddFaderTrack

  5. Right click on the timeline window and click Add Fader Playable Asset

    AddFaderPlayableAsset

  6. Create an Image object by clicking the menu: GameObject -> UI -> Image

  7. Drag and drop the Image object to the object property of the FaderTrack

The Image object will be faded in/out as we play the Timeline or drag the time slider of the Timeline window.
