, as of now thats a future i havent tried yet but are considering. i thought of making it possible to import/export to/from acid timeline however acid timeline is way more complex, and animatis is just ment for simple animation as of now. this would mean one would have to take into considuration that, if importing, there might be futures that wont be exported due too animatis limitations as of now. however importing from animatis to acid timeline should be made an option i think, but if i do that i will ask Acid Bubbles first for permission. great thinking! 
As far as ive tried it its able to give you same contoll to some lvl yes, the animations i tested/made seemed to work flawlessly and looks natural.and i made them quite fast id say, although i do also have experience with timeline so that helps ofcourse( from sitting pose to standing with direction change). But its deff not as well done as timeline nore is it intended too, think of this more like a starter kit for learning to make simple animations. Ive also created a posesaver( not released yet) that goes very well with Animatis. Im looking into advancing the plugin but yet it still need to be simple so im not sure when i will update next time, for the moment.
Hey, im sorry but i do not at the moment. im a bit occupied today so i cant create it for you at this time. however once your in the UI go to the "Targets" tab, select which controller you want to animate the select "add Controller". After that go to "timeline" tab, here is where you animate. first "clear all keyframes" then "Add keyframe at current Time" , then move the part you chose to animate(i suggest using lHand controller for testing this out), then set "current time" to something like 0.50 or 1.0(depending how fast you want the animation to play), then move the chosen part and press "add keyframe at current time". now go to animation Tab and remove the loop for now. back in Timeline tab hit play and you should se the chosen part move. and thats it! (The Record button is still in early fase so i suggest leave it alone for now). hope this helps you to start with
Animatis v1.2 - Global Targets Update
Major Improvements:
Global Animation Targets - Controllers and morphs are now shared across ALL animations! Add them once, and they're available everywhere.
Yes the recording button is not yet fixed, im looking into it if i should keep it or not since the keyframe buttons can be used as well (actually i would recomend that anyway couse its then easier to add details in your animation between the different timelines), however i do have an idea for it and will adress it in my not-so-far-away update. Thank you so much for taking the time
o ok no problem. I had an idea, it may be beyond what you want to do with the plugin but... In other animation editors we can move key frames in 2d or 3d space.Yes the recording button is not yet fixed, im looking into it if i should keep it or not since the keyframe buttons can be used as well, however i do have an idea for it and will adress it in my not-so-far-away update.

I see your point and those are great ideas, i will deff take a look at it. But im not trying to recreate or challange Acid Bubbles in any way. There is a reason for the simplicity couse Animatis will( if im able too) be a small part of larger future plugin im trying to build. Although i do think it would be possible to keep it fairly simple but with the futures you refference. Il deff try it at least. Thank you so much for the ideas! If you have any other ideas theyre welcomed
I get what you say and if you use timeline and know it well than there is no reason for you, in fact id say that it was never ment so either. However i think that new player etc can sometimes find great plugins like timeline overwhelming to start with, here is a " starter" for easily start out with animation and see the fun in it. But animatis is for me just a part of a bigger pluggin im aiming at, how that will go i dunno yet, but there will deff be more plugins. And if u dont like animatis its fine
no plugin is ment for everyone.

Ok this is a major update i hope you all like it
You can now fire triggers at precise moments during your animations! Perfect for creating complex, fully automated
scenes.
What's New:
-Trigger Tracks: Create multiple independent trigger tracks per animation
-Keyframe Triggers: Add triggers at specific times on the timeline
-Named Tracks: Organize triggers by purpose (Clothing, Expressions, Audio, Lighting, Effects, etc.)
-Visual Timeline: See all your trigger...
