You can save animation clips to use with new objects. This can be useful when you want to reuse a complex animation.

To save an animation clip:

1. In the Story window, Alt-drag an animated object into the Action Track area.

   An empty track appears and the name of the animated object displays in the Track content field.

2. Right-click the empty track and select Process Track/Subtracks to New Clip to create a clip from the object’s animation.
3. The Process Tracks and Subtracks dialog box appears. Set the frame rate and activate any filtering from the Process Tracks and Subtracks dialog box options. Click OK.
4. A Save Clip window appears. Name and save your clip.

   A new animation track appears with your clip on it.
