Export animations

You have an animation but now it needs to go into your game. To use the animation, it will need to be exported from the animation editor to the Roblox platform.

1. In the Animation Editor, click on the ... and select Publish to Roblox. The Asset Configuration window displays.

   

Note

Animation Editor Blank?

If you closed Studio, the Animation Editor may be blank or closed.

• To open the Animation Editor, go back to the Avatar tab, then select the Animation button.
• If the Animation Editor is blank, reselect the Figure on the pedestal.

2. In the window, give the animation a title and description.

3. Click the Submit button.

Get the animation ID

An animation ID lets the game know what animation to play. You'll use the ID of your exported animation for players in your game.

1. Once the animation is exported, copy the ID by clicking the icon next to the ID. You should see a green "ID Copied!_" text.

   

2. Press the Close button.
