Inputs:

* **Animation:** The animation to be edited
* **Frame Selection**: The start and end frames of the target animation segment.
* **Prompt:** A text prompt describing the new motion
* **Seed:** A random number used for generating varied outputs with identical inputs. For instance, two generated motions with different seeds, might differ even with the same text prompt, duration and edit mode.
* **Edit Mode**: Choose between “Full Body” (modifies all skeleton joints) or “Upper Body” (modifies only upper body joints).
* **Retain Anim Data:** Enable if you want to keep animation data that our model does not process.

You can find out how to retain your animation data at the Common Tools section of our [tool-options](https://docs.realtwin.org/virtual-productions-cloud/vpc-plugin/toolkits/motion-toolkit/tools/tool-options "mention") page.
