Was going to skip this episode assuming the focus was Character animation specific, which I don't do. SO GLAD I DECIDED TO WATCH IT ANYWAY! This is really handy for CAMERA animations (Archviz, Cinematics, etc.), esp. when you have 2 or more camera moves that you like but aren't sure which one to go with. Now I can setup both and play around with them as I flesh out my shot, get some outside feedback and then just Mute the track I don't want. I LOVE THIS!! THANKS REZA!!

This is an excellent use of a new feature! Very clever, and thank you for your kind words.

As usual, a very helpful tutorial. Thank you.

Great to hear

I downloaded Unreal Engine to get into creating little short movies, and your tutorials have been incredibly helpful, thanks a lot! I have some problems with two things that I can't seem to find any solution for. Could you try to help? - Could it be that root motion animations aren't working in the most recent 5.5.1? I am using a skeletal mesh, and add an animation sequence from an animation pack. The animation DOES have root motion, but in the sequencer, the Skeletal Mesh gets animated, but stays in place, no matter if I enable or disable root motion in the animation sequence, despite it actually moving forward in that. Any advice? - How would I access Morph Targets for Facial Animation in the sequencer? Googling says I need to create a Control Rig, but as I try and create one, the morph targets do not show up in the Control Rig of my skeletal mesh. I don't know how to proceed and don't find any resources. Thanks in advance!

[@sarkamari]

For the first question iam not really sure what's happening . With these type of errors it's hard to comment without close inspections. For morph targets, you don’t need a Control Rig to animate them. In the sequencer, add your skeletal mesh, then look for the morph target section under the "Animation" track. If it’s not showing, double-check the mesh has morph targets in its asset settings.

@@sarkamari Hello! Appreciate the reply! I think the animation issue solved itself, I did have some bugs and I think some animations were not set correctly. I still can't figure out why but I tried it in a different version of UE and it seems to be working. As for the Morph Targets, my Skeletal Mesh has Morph Targets in the Morph Target Previewer, but under the Animation track, there's only the "Weight" setting. I figured out why the control Rig didn't see the morph targets, apparently I needed to add the morph targets to the "Curves" tab, which then worked. However, your solution with animating it straight from the Animation Track would be useful, is there any educated guess you can make here? If not, that's absolutely fine, I realize it's always hard to find solutions to vague issues like that, either way thank you for having replied to my comment!

Thank you ...!

Thank you for the tutorial! If there is any chance that you could cover the vertex painting with the nanite tessellation in 5.5 that would be great and I'm sure more people would find it useful as there isn't much information about it.

Does override actually replace key frames on the base layer? Or does it just ignore the base keys while the override layer is active? Great videos!

[@sarkamari]

It does not delete or replace keyframes on the base layer. The override layer essentially ignores the keyframes on the base layer for the properties it controls. The base layer is still there, untouched, and the override is applied on top of it.

best Tutor ever !

[@sarkamari]

Much appreciated

[@KaliadderExperiments]

Thank you! Does this only work on FK/IK rigs, or do animation layers also work on the "Animation" layer (where you put the pre-created animations)? Also, if needed can you unmerge?

[@sarkamari]

Unfortunately, unmerging is not possible, so you need to be certain before proceeding. Additionally, this does not work with control properties (IK/FK). You must target a selectable actor to bring it into the layer.
