# Extract Animation
PixCap can extract an animation from a character and save it as an animation file for later use; apply the animation to other character models.
To get started, **click on any bone** of an animated character, access the **Character tab**, then click **Extract animation**.
Configure bones, if required, in the character's body, left hand and right hand. Select the Start frame and End frame. **Click on Next** to proceed to video preview, then **click on Extract Animation** to complete the extraction.
Your extracted animation will be listed in the **Animation Files** section of the **My Files** tab, in the **Assets** panel.
