# How to load and Play a XAT Cutscene

### For this tutorial I will be using [vee07](https://twitter.com/memoryscrounged)'s _Dance Robot Dance!_ mod & XAT camera, that can be found [here](https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/70861)!

Load and customize the Actors that will be in the cutscene.

Note: Unless specified otherwise by the mod Author, keep all of the actors at their spawned in location!

Next go down to the "Animation Control" tab and click the "Advanced Animation Control" button!

Next open the "Cutscene Control" tab and then "Browse" for the `.xcp` file you wish to play

Then load the desired Emotes on all of your Actors&#x20;

Tip: Uncheck `Start Animation On Select` for a cleaner less busy scene while working&#x20;
