Provides functions to load and preview AnimationClips. It includes a number of functions that are useful when working with an Animation.

The AnimationClipProvider replaces the deprecated KeyframeSequenceProvider that was used to download KeyframeSequences by content ID.

The AnimationClipProvider has a number of uses.

  • Download the AnimationClip associated with an animation content ID from the Roblox website, regardless of the underlying type of AnimationClip (KeyframeSequence or CurveAnimation).
  • Generate a temporary id to locally preview an animation.
  • Fetch the content IDs of animations owned by a particular user.
