Blender NLA - ACTIONS clips DEMYSTIFIED (2021) [Export to Unity, Lens Studio, Spark AR, etc]

#Blender uses the Graph Editor (AKA the F-curve editor) to create the keyframes needed for an ACTION. To store that action you need the Dopesheet window set to ACTION EDITOR. Once you finish your action, you can use it contained in an #ANIMATION CLIP which you can push to the NLA (nonlinear animation editor). You do this to mix walk cycles with run cycles of your model.
The NLA track is then created but doesn't name itself automatically from your clip. This is because you might have 2 or 3 different NLA channels adding up to different composed clip animations. You need to rename the channels yourself.
To avoid confusion further down the Unity pipeline, you should name your action clips with "_1_250" (frame duration) as good practice for your team to know how much your original Blender Action Clip lasts.
Check out the Export settings and how they can help you get your animation into #Unity, Lens Studio, or Spark Ar.
