You cannot edit or create animations on Sketchfab, but you can edit some animation properties.
The animation tools are available in 3D Settings.
- From your model, click Edit 3D Settings or add "/edit" to the end of any model URL.
- Select the Animation panel in the top left.
Cycle mode & Playback Speed
Here you can set the default cycle mode and playback speed.
Cycle Mode
- Cycle One: Loop the default animation
- Cycle All: Loop through each animation
- No Cycle: Play each animation once, then stop
Playback Speed
- x0.1: Play at one tenth speed
- x0.5: Play at half speed
- x1.0: Play at normal speed
- x2.0: Play at double speed
Default animation
Choose the default animation by clicking it in the list. The "Play" icon indicates the current selection. You can also choose the Static pose as the default.
Rename & Delete
Rename or delete an animation from the drop-down menu.
Seamless Loop
Choose Seamless loop if the first and last keyframes should be interpolated:

Once you've made your adjustments, including position and orientation, be sure to update your model's thumbnail image and default position with Save View and/or save your changes with Save Settings. You can return to your model by clicking either the model's name or Exit.

I have a problem. My model has an animation, but it starts in "static pose". How can I change that the animation is running when I open the model?
I tried to save the view when the animation is running & I saved settings while the animation is running... how does it go back to static pose everytime??
it doesnt tell us best websites to animate a 3D model
Can you post the link to the model? We're experiencing some bugs with the Static Pose right now.
there is any thing I can do to change the static pose? because my animation is shown perfect in the viewport but once I select static pose my model broke completely.
This issue should be fixed now, so you can choose any animation as the default in 3D Settings.

this is the model I have a problem with the static pose
@vertiv it's only possible with the Viewer API at the moment, but we plan to add it to the UI, too.
Sorry everyone! It's a known issue and we have a fix coming. ETA is next Tuesday. Then you'll be able to save any animation as the default in 3D Settings.
i love anamation
Is there a chance to import a mov into the model?
Hello, when I navigate to the animation panel in 3D settings, nothing but Upload animation appears. None of the other options seen in this post appear... is there in fact a DEFAULT animation? As in a simple XY plane turntable? Or.. are those options only available to a paid account? The reason I ask is.. I used the share option to LinkedIn - a Play icon appears over the image and insinuates an animation, but clicking the play button does nothing on LinkedIn. However, when I browse the model here on Sketchfab it does a simple turntable rotation on mouse over... what I am I missing?
How do you have it play the animation once, stop, and not go to the next animation?
Im also having the issue where my model opens in static pose and doesn't play animation automatically...3d settings doesn't seem to save animation settings when opening model in browser. Never had this issue before
