Get startedGet it on FabMulti-prompt Clips

The Clip editor

Prompt, duration, direction and takes for each segment on the left, the live preview on your character in the middle, the timeline under the viewport.

Everything you need to go from prompt to Animation Sequence

    Local and private
    The model (NVIDIA Kimodo) runs on your NVIDIA GPU. After a one-time model download nothing leaves your PC: no account, no credits, no per-generation cost.
    Multi-prompt Clips
    Chain segments on a timeline ("walk" → "turn" → "sit"): the model generates the transitions between them. Takes per segment, regenerate only what changed.
    Direction control
    Set a heading or a point to reach on the floor for each segment, right in the viewport.
    Seamless Loops
    One prompt, automatic cycle detection and blending, In place or Root motion — ready for Blend Spaces and locomotion.
    Automatic retargeting
    Unreal's IK Retargeter, set up for you: UE5 Manny/Quinn, UE4 Mannequin, MetaHuman bodies, Mixamo and other humanoid skeletons. Live preview on your character.
    Real assets
    Animation Sequences with Root motion, In place or Animated root. Update them in place after you pick another take: references stay valid.
    Seconds per clip
    A 5-second clip takes 3–4 seconds on an RTX 4080 with the default memory mode, leaving the graphics memory to the editor.
    Safe by design
    The model runs in a separate process: a GPU error never closes your editor or loses your work.
    Editor-only
    Text To Anim creates regular Animation Sequences: nothing of the plugin ships in your game.

Live preview, retargeted while you watch

Every generation is previewed on the character of your choice, with the root trajectory, the segment direction handles and the timeline under the viewport.
