Animations in qml can be only run in the main thread?

Im asking because in the curricuum for qml is a point "Animation thread" and I can find no information about it beside the links provided....

Yes, it's the same thread.

If you need to animate something in a different thread to have a smooth animation, use Animator

@sierdzio Then why would I even use the normal Animations in some cases? I could just go with the Animators for everything or am I wrong?

edit:

The only restriction I found:

The Animator types can be used for animations during transitions, but they do not support the reversible property.

I don't know. I've never used Animator in large numbers. Perhaps you're right and it's not a problem at all.
