Few questions about Animation, AnimationClip and AddMixinTransform

Hello

I just noticed that Animations and AnimationClips are not the same thing, animation clips are parts of animations, and animations are more like separate objects.

I have a few questions about that.

First: Does AddMixinTransform only works with Animations? I mean, it doesnt work AnimationClips, right? if it doesnt, is there any way to blend AnimationClips?

Second: In my game a have several characters models, they all share the same skelleton, animations, etc. Should I do separate Animation Objects that all the characters would share instead of separating AnimationClips in the model import? that would save me a lot of work and would be cleaner.

The character models are for a character selection screen in a multiplayer game, thats why they all share animations.

Oops, you cant actually create new animations independently and add those to the characters, what a shame I thought I could create a new animation, put the start and the end of the animation and add it to the player so it would play it in any character. you know like having for example a “shotanimation” for all characters.
