Help. Compiler errors when import v1.6.5 on Unity v5.6.0f3

[derrickxu]

When i import Cinematic Sequencer – SLATE 1.6.5.unitypackage on Unity v5.6.0f3, i get more than 20 compiler error. Most of them complains there is not memeber function in AnimationMixerPlayable class(part of errors paste below), i don’t find these functions in Unity document either.
Is there something wrong with the package or my Unity version?
Which version should i use when work with Unity v5.6+, not with Unity 2017?
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

Unity has made a lot of changes in the Playables API within the 5.6.x cycle.
Is it possible for you to please use 5.6.1f1 ?
There will still be only but a single compile error (I missed that) in AnimatorTrack.cs line #387, but you can remove or comment that line out and then everything will work fine with 5.6.1f1.

Let me know.
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply.
As our project won’t upgrade Unity version, so I’m trying to remove Animator Track support from this extension and use Mecanim Track only. There are’t compiler errors any more, but i’m not sure is there any limitation when i only use Mecanim Track and don’t use Animator Track?

Hello again,

Generally speaking the Animator Track is more straight-forward to use and more stable than the Mecanim Track since the animation in an Animator Track is sampled directly instead of using parameters that the Mecanim Track requires for example, but other than this fact, removing the Animator Track if you have to, won’t result in any other features missing.
