How to Show Sample Rate in Unity

To show the sample rate in Unity, specifically within the Animation window, you need to enable a specific setting.

Showing the Sample Rate in the Animation Window

The sample rate in Unity's Animation window determines how many keyframes are recorded per second, affecting the smoothness and detail of your animation. If you don't see the field where you can view or adjust this value, here's how to make it visible:

  1. Open the Animation Window: Make sure the Animation window is open in your Unity editor. You can usually find it under Window > Animation > Animation.
  2. Locate the Hamburger Menu: In the top-right corner of the Animation window, find the hamburger menu icon. This typically looks like three vertical dots (⋮).
  3. Click the Menu: Click on this icon to open a dropdown menu.
  4. Select "Show Sample Rate": From the options in the dropdown menu, check "Show Sample Rate."

Once you check this option, a field labeled "Sample" (or similar) will appear in the Animation window, usually near the top, allowing you to see and modify the sample rate for your current animation clip.

This simple process ensures that the "Sample" field, which is essential for understanding and controlling animation timing, is visible and accessible.

Quick Steps to Show Sample Rate:

  • Open Animation window.
  • Click the three vertical dots (⋮) menu.
  • Check "Show Sample Rate."

By following these steps, you can easily display the sample rate information directly within the Unity Animation window, giving you better control over your animation creation process.
