# Bake & Export

This page explains how to export animations.

## Standard Export&#x20;

It’s possible to bake retargeted animations directly in the **Retarget Pro Window**.

* **Frame Rate** — defines the frame rate, in frames per second (FPS), for exported animations.
* **Rig Type** — defines the target character rig type: **Generic** or **Humanoid**.
* **Bake Output** — specifies the export format. **Animation Clip** and **FBX** are supported. **FBX** is recommended.
* **Root Rotation Offset** — applies a rotation offset to the root bone in baked animations.
* **Loop Count** — defines the number of animation loops to include when baking. This is useful for looping locomotion animations, such as walking or running.
* **Copy Clip Settings** — determines whether clip settings, such as **Loop** and **Bake Into Pose**, are copied from the source animations.
* **Use Root Motion** — controls whether root motion tracks are included in the baked animations.
* **Save Folder** — specifies the folder where exported animations are saved.

To bake animations, click **Bake Animation**. Once baking is complete, the animation is saved to the selected folder.

## Batch Export

To quickly retarget and bake multiple animations, select the animations, right-click the selection, and choose **Retarget Animations**.
