Welcome to your first beginner animation lesson in Studio! To get started, let's walk through how to open the sample template, customize Studio's layout for your tasks, and playtest the core gameplay of the experience where players move around a track to earn stars.
Open template
Templates are pre-made 3D worlds that you can use as the base for your own experiences. To introduce you to animation in Studio, Roblox has created the Island of Move template with everything necessary for the experience to work properly, such as the code to run the gameplay and an environment that you can customize at a later time.
For a full list of Roblox-provided templates, see Templates.
Click the following button to open the Island of Move template:
Customize workspace
Roblox Studio launches with extra windows open that you don't need for this lesson. You can close these extra windows to create more space for what you're currently working on.
To customize the workspace for your animating task:
Close any open window on the left side of Studio by clicking the X button on the top-right corner of the window. If you don't see anything to close, go to the next step.
Leave the Explorer and Properties window open on the right side of Studio. If you have done each step correctly, Studio looks like the following image.
If you don't see the Explorer and Properties windows, you can open them by going to the Home tab and clicking the Explorer and Properties buttons.
Playtest the experience
Before you start animating, it's important to take a moment to playtest the template so you can see how the gameplay works. When players join the experience, they make progress around the track by clicking the move button, or using a mobile device and moving around in real-life.
To playtest the experience's gameplay:
In the top-left corner of Studio, keep the default Test playtest option, then click the Play button. Studio enters playtest mode.
There are a variety of additional playtest options that you will explore in a later chapter of the tutorial.
In the experience, use the following player controls to walk up to the golem character on the stage, then press E to open up a menu. From that menu, click Play Game.
Action Control Move W A S D or arrow keys Rotate Hold the right mouse button and look around. Pan Hold the middle mouse button to drag your camera around. 
When the game starts, go forward by repeatedly clicking the Move button. Your character automatically follows the track as you click.
When you're done, return to the top-left corner of Studio, then click the Stop button. Studio exits playtest mode.
Now that you are familiar with the gameplay, it's time to start animating!
