Well, subj. Do I have to manually stop looping AnimationPlayers, or are they automatically stopped once the node they were animating (usually it’s a parent node of AnimationPlayer in my case) is hidden?
Obviously you can’t see animation anyways, this is more of a performance related question.

No, animation keeps going on. Note that an animation doesn’t necessarily animate visual things (even if that may sound counter-intuitive). It also doesn’t “mute” tracks animating invisible nodes.
