A code generator tool for Unity Timeline that creates extension code for Volume or Component without writing code manually.
It helps rapid prototyping and allows for easy customization of additional logic.
Non-complex generated code can be directly imported into projects.
At present, there are some extensions to the original Post-Processing Volume of Unity URP, which are used to dynamically adjust the volume in the Timeline
It can be directly imported into the project for use, or quickly expand through the "MAO Timeline playable Wizard" tool.

Code generation is supported, but the Clip's Inspector panel will list all options at once - you may need to customize the Clip's panel)

- Open the Timeline window and create a new Timeline.
- Create a new Global Volume, add
TimelineExtensionVolumeSettingscomponent. - Add a new Track which starts with "MAO", such as
MAOBloom. - Set TrackBinding to the
TimelineExtensionVolumeSettingscomponent. - Add a new Clip to the Track, edit properties in the Clip or mix with other Clips.
- VolumeAccessType:
Profile: Access a copy of the profile, which will not affect the original volume profile file (but if you adjust the Volume property through Timeline in Editor mode and then manually adjust it, this modification cannot be saved)Shared Profile: Access a reference to the profile, which will directly affect the originalvolume profile. The settings cannot be reset after exiting play mode
Tip
It is recommended to use Shared Profile in Editor mode and Profile in Play mode.
If you need to use this switching method, you can check AutoSwitchType in TimelineExtensionVolumeSettings

Important
The Enum type is currently not supported. When you need it (such as Gaussian or Boken's DOF), it is recommended to create it in the following way.
You can customize the generated code path and default namespace through TimelineExtensions/Resources/MAOTimelineExtensionsConfigSO.
The namespace affects how the Track appears in the context menu when adding a Track in Timeline. When a namespace is present, the corresponding Track will be generated in a submenu; otherwise, it will appear in the root menu.
