Hi, thanks for the tutorial video, i followed the steps but turned out i can have the correct body motion but the root motion is missing, no matter how far my actor moves the target character just stays at the original position. Any suggestions on how to get root motion from the real-time animation source data?

[@jamessimpson3d]

Have you tried different places for the root motion to start from? It may be that your root motion in your source animation has an unusual root position

@@jamessimpson3d I have got the solution, my rig's hips bone is at the (0,0,0), i need to give it an offset while import it in UE5, makes sure the feet is on the floor not the hips
