Supported Image Formats

	Windows	Mac
png	✅	✅
tga	✅

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 StreamingImageSequenceTrack in the Timeline Window

   

5. Drag and Drop the sequential images folder to the StreamingImageSequenceTrack added previously

   

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 StreamingImageSequenceTrack, and click Create StreamingImageSequenceNativeRenderer on Image

   

The image sequences in the folder will then be shown inside the Image object, and the Image object will be played/enabled/disabled as we play the Timeline or drag the time slider of the Timeline window.

For other ways for importing images, see ImportingImages

Curve

We can also change the timing of the playback by adjusting the curve of the asset.
To do this, open the curve section, and right click on the curve to start adding keys.
