The Timeline doesn't play animation when the Playable Director component's Update Method is Manual
How to reproduce it:
1. Open the user's attached project
2. Load 'MasterScene' scene from 'Assets' > 'Scenes' folder
3. Open the Timeline Window (Window > Sequencing > Timeline)
4. In the Hierarchy view select the 'MasterTimeline' GameObject
5. Enter Play Mode
6. Observe the Game view
Expected result: The woman's animation plays (she walks around the room)
Actual result: The woman's animation doesn't play
Reproducible with: 2019.4.14f1, 2020.1.12f1, 2020.2.0b10, 2021.1.0a5
Could not test with: 2018.4.29f1 and lower (due to errors)
Note:
- Timeline plays when Playable Director Update Method value is 'DSP Clock'/'Game Time'/'Unscaled Game Time'
- To see expected results: comment 27, 28, 50 lines of code in 'TimelineController.cs' and set Playable Director Update Method to 'Game Time'
