Basic Motion Capture Editing in Unreal Engine 5
This video is the first in a series demonstrating workflows for editing motion capture date using Unreal Engine 5.2 (and later). For the past 15+ years, I've generally used Motion Builder for this kind of work, but the new features available in Unreal 5 have made it possible to do just about everything I've typically used Motion Builder for.
This first video of the series focuses on the basics of stringing several animations together, making sure that each animation is aligned and blends smoothly from one to the next.
Here is a link to the full playlist of videos in the collection:
