Turbo Tip ⚡️⚔️
You can use AE-style timeline shortcuts to filter by specific properties
👉 They work as a toggle, so you can tap P (for position) once to filter, and tap P again to toggle it off
👉 You can also use Shift to append another property to the filter

Here are 5 steps to prep and optimize your file so your developer loves you — or at least tolerates you:
1. Validate state machine logic
2. Check the file size and asset setup
3. Use Data Binding instead of inputs
