If I should move this please let me know.
Ok so managing animations in roblox is an absolute pain.
When looking for animations that I own there isnt a way to sort for animations in my game, thus causing the process of using animations to be incredibly annoying
For instance finding past animations is a pain cause I cant tell which ones are from this game, theres like no way to sort by anything, and now Im stuck trying to guess which one is the right animation. Of course I can just name the animations to have a specific thing at the front of the name, like the name of the game, but that becomes pretty annoying pretty fast, especially when you start having hundreds of animations
So my question is really simple, is there any better way to manage animations? Id love to just use like an instance or something inside of roblox but of course they have to require you to upload it to roblox

What I do is use a folder and put my animations in there for that specific game. But then again im not an animator so i don’t typically have 100s of animations.
Storing the animation instance for loading is fine, I feel like my main issue is when I have to reupload the animation to roblox, as I have to manually search through the animations I already have saved to find the one to overwrite.
Which gets very obnoxious pretty fast as you can probably tell
oop Im ranting again.
But thanks for the advice as you just reminded me I should probably sort the animation instances I have in my game
This is something I’ve found slows me down a lot. I wish there was a folder system directly for assets in Roblox Studio so you can store similar assets (like animations for a game) as a group. I’ve only ever used Windows so I don’t know what Mac’s Finder is like, but I wish Roblox assets were stored and manageable similar to File Explorer.
