If anybody else is using this animator compiler for avatars 3.0 and the disabling blinking isn't working, you have to set a name on the layer to get it to work for now:

Also there was an update last week that fixed some odd sort of interference with other layers. so I finally have working hair animations + gestures now after struggling to get it to work before.
