Can't play my jumping animation

Hello, I am working on a simple 2D game and I’m trying to get the jumping animation but for some reason it won’t play. I get this warning on the Inspector when I look at the transition between AnyState to Jump and it reads Cannot preview AnyState transition. destination state does not have motion.
I belive this has something to do with the reason why I’m not seeing the animation but I can’t find anything on the internet about this error and I don’t know how to handle it. Does anyone know what is going on?

Well… does it have a motion? I believe this means that when you select the state box, its Animation field is not blank.

That’s the first place I would look anyway. Otherwise, just destroy all the states and rebuild the animator tree from the animations… it’s a pretty small problem space.

I’m not sure what you mean by motion, if by that you mean animation then it does have an animation.
I redid the animation and it seems to be working now, thanks
