The '''EVNT format''' is a companion to [[ANIM (File Format)|ANIM]] resources.
'''Animation events''' control functional events synchronized to rigged animations for things like sound effects, visual effects, character messages, and playback control. The events can be found in different places in each game; in Prime 1, they are stored in their own file format, the '''EVNT format'''. In Echoes, the format is the same as Prime 1, but was merged in to the [[ANCS (File Format)|ANCS format]] instead of getting its own file. In Prime 3 and the Donkey Kong Country series, events can be found in the [[CHAR (File Format)|CHAR format]], as well as Prime 3's [[SAND (File Format)|SAND format]].
Animators are able to synchronize functional events to rigged animations for things like sound effects, visual effects, character messages, and playback control.
