2Hello @RJyescode,
In order to modify the animation you need to select in the Hierarchy window the object that has the Animator component attached on it, when it’s showing in the Inspector window then it will be editable in the Animation window
To explain simply: when you press the Add Animation button it will add an empty animation to the selected Animator, in order words if you don’t select an Animator Unity can not know where to add the clip

– RJyescodeif you open the Animation tab on the bottom of your screen you will be able to add an animation clip when your Nala is selected like this, to open the animation window you can go to the top menu > Windows > Animation > Animation


Post a screenshot please, it's always better to see the problem :)

– RJyescodeDo you have to select the object in the hierarchy to animate? You have the scene selected.
– ArachnidAnimali think i have already selected the object, i simply cant add frames
