# Retargeting

In this tutorial you will learn the basics of retargeting.

## Preview

To start retargeting, go to to the **"Playback & Preview"** section and pick an animation:

**Tip**: You can drag\&drop multiple clips!
{% endhint %}

Click the "Play", "Loop" button or simply drag the playback slider to retarget animations:

## Adjustments

It's often recommended to adjust retarget features to get the animations look right. Go to the **"Bone Chain Settings"** tab and click on any feature from the list:

Once selected, a feature inspector will appear at the bottom of the list:

{% endhint %}

To display the bone renderer and gizmos, toggle the "Skeleton" and "Gizmo" icons in the scene preview:

The bone renderer will display source and target bone chains, and gizmos will expose transform handles to adjust bone positions.
