MoonExport

Exports a loaded replay as a Moon Animator 2 save. The player is stepped through every tick in edit mode and each proxy is sampled: its pivot becomes a CFrame track and every Motor6D becomes a rig joint track (Moon stores joint keys as C1 values, so Transform is folded into C1). Recorded property changes (effects, sounds, appearance) become property tracks on items for the instances they touched, with constant eases. Moon items cannot enter or leave the scene, so an entity that spawns or despawns mid-replay has every part's Transparency toggled instead. An entity whose snapshot is linked to a prefab (Snapshot.links) uses that prefab as its Moon item; anything else is copied into Workspace so Moon can resolve the item path. The save lands in ServerStorage.MoonAnimator2Saves where Moon's File > Open lists it.
