Animation not playing in Play mode

Hi all,

I searched far and wide, but I wasn't able to find a solution that worked for my problem (it seems some people have a similar problem, but the solutions that worked for them didn't work for me).

Basically I'm importing an FBX model with animations. I see the animations playing fine in the preview window under the Animations tab for model import (both when using Mechanim and Legacy). When using the Animation window I also see the animations playing for models I have dragged into the scene. So everything seems to be working fine; except when I press play the animations are not being played!

I have tried with both "Play Automatically" (for Legacy animations) and adding an AnimationController (for Mechanim), but nothing seems to work. It looks like the model jumps to the first frame of the animation and then just freezes there, without playing the rest of the animation.

Any help would be very much appreciated - thanks!

Regards, Simon
