Edits the TimeAct Editor files of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and Sekiro. These files control everything that happens on a specific frame of an animation, such as:
Activating invulnerability frames.
Parry windows
Applying an "SpEffect" (special temporary statuses such as ring effects, poisoning, buffs, AI triggers, etc)
Allowing animation cancelling
Setting the flag for YOU DIED and respawning
Creating "SFX" / "FFX" (both refer to the exact same files: visual effects)
Playing sound effects such as footsteps, sword swooshes, etc.
Invoking an attack behavior (does damage to opponent, drains stamina from player, etc all in one event)
Invoking a "bullet" (projectile) behavior (fires projectile, drains stamina from player, etc all in one event)
Invoking a "common" behavior (like attack behaviors but for simpler things such as falling on someone's head causing stagger)
Creating motion blur on weapon swings
Setting the opacity of a character (used for getting summoned into other worlds, dying, etc)
Setting attack aim tracking speed of a character
Playing a "RumbleCam" file (relative screen movement e.g. Smough's footsteps shaking screen)
Playing additional animation layers (e.g. all of Gwyn's animations have events to play his clothes-blowing-in-wind animation layered on top of the other animations)
Adjusting model render masks (showing/hiding specific parts of characters)
Many more that we haven't even figured out yet.
Shows an actual physical graph full of events represented as boxes.
Snaps to 30-fps increments just like the vanilla files do.
Allows you to add new events to animations by right-clicking (if a template is loaded).
Allows you to delete events by highlighting them and pressing the Delete key.
Allows you to modify the parameters passed to each event (click an event to highlight it, then the parameters appear in the pane on the right side of the window)
Has full undo/redo functionality with Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y
Has full copy/paste functionality:
Ctrl+C: Copy
Ctrl+V: Paste at Mouse Cursor
Ctrl+Shift+V: Paste In-Place (keeps original start/end times, useful for copying between animations)
Edits the .anibnd or .anibnd.dcx files of the games directly. No need to use BND rebuilders.

A custom build of MonoGame Framework by Katalash fixing some of the shitty limitations
A small portion of HavokLib, specifically the spline-compressed animation decompressor, adapted for C#
A small portion of Horkrux's copy of my fork of Wulf's BND Rebuilder, specifically the headerization and deswizzling of PS4 and PS3 textures, adapted for C# and modified to load the texture directly into MonoGame instead of save to a file.
