How to save animations to use again

Hi guys,

I’ve been ‘rigging’ a helicopter to use in an animation later on. I’ve only just got the hand of rigging and wondered if there is anyway I can animate the moving parts once and save them so that I can just click a button in future and they will animate.

I’ve found some old videos about pose library but I’m not using bones just empties.

Here is my video showing what I’m talking about.

Thank you.

Save it as an action.
