This is the best tutorial I've seen for anything in a really long time. Please keep doing these.

this is gold. thank you. There's a lack of videos/assets available for UE5 mannequin, even though UE has switched over to it for awhile

actually perfect, concise animation tutorial. Thank you SO much.

One of the only gameplay focused control rig tuts. So clear and concise from start to finish. Thank you!

I just wanna say in a non romantic, ive been searching for hours for a simple video. I LOVE YOUUU THANK YOUUUUU!!! YOU JUST SAVED MY ASSSSS!!

Thank you for making this in a quick and easy 4 min video.

It is important to add an addictive layer for baked control rig and then correct existing animations

Big thank you. Was stuck on just about everything concerning animations till I found this video. Big help, big thank you

Clean, easy tutorial without bullsh!t. Thanks.

this is how you really create and edit animations in unreal engine, many thanks!!!!

More of those quick tutorials man. 🔥

Took me months to find this, thanks bro!

simple and to the point. thanks

IMHO that UI is not the most intuitive. Thanks so much for this video. It's been a life saver to me

i learn so much in 4 minute than i have in a whole year thank you so much

How do u get the lines?

Very nice tutorial! It helped me make some custom crouching animations, which is very appreciated!

just as i was thinking about editing existing animations you post this :D

Is there no graph editor or any way to make tools to make animation easier (such as selecting commonly used group of controls, then saving the script into a button I can hit to select them all at once) or any other settings that programs like Maya have so you can create higher quality animations? Or is it still best to make an animation in something like Blender or Maya and then import it in?

this help me out allot i was trying to find this but people made it so complicated, this wasnice and easy to understand

the best youtube bro ever keep the perfect work

the lines don't show 0:50

You can edit the fbx motions just by double clicking them open. Similar process but with the bones.

Great tutorial! How come when i select and adjust a certain part of the manequinn, CR_Mannequin_Body drops down and shows me every body part instead of stayin closed like it does for yours? Its kind of annoying.

This is going to save me a lot of time, thanks!

Hi I have first person fists/block/etc is this the same way to apply animations?

for some reason whenver i bake out an animation it doenst play, it's completely static

Thanks! Never knew it was this easy

Thanks for the video! Pls more!❤

I never knew about this until now. Honestly thought it was a plug in haha

For experienced users I like the compact format as I mostly know the stuff and only want to see a specific part

I’ve been learning blender for the past 2 weeks just to realize that you can use unreal to animate

I have a problem creatin an animation from the sequencer, when i do, it doesn't work as an animation montage. When i use 'play animation montage' it just doesn't do anything, but using an animation i didn't modify or create (from the asset store) it do works. Any clue what could it be?

Could someone please help I'm not getting this to work? I have a project started in 4.27 but now converted and working in 5.2. I am still using the UE4 mannequin. I dragged in the third person character idle animation. I hit the plus icon on the sequencer, then chose "actor to sequencer" and chose the third person idle I just dragged into the world. But, I'm not seeing the many colored lines appear that can be used to pose the character.

Super helpful, thank you :D

Yo, recently need this!

excellent video, thank you

Thanks it was very helpful for me 😁

I animated the transform (Yaw and Z) , but upon baking it seems to have lost that part of the animation, can anyone please let me know why that happened?

Hello! Following the step from the video, I couldn't find the "Animation" layer. I only have the Control Rig one. Does someone know where it could come from?

Can I, edit any movement as I want with this method? Or only applicable to walking and waving?

When adding actor to sequence, it does not include the animation. it is just a static character. Please help

No idea what im doing wrong, i get the full maniquin to edit rather than the skeleton mesh to edit. I can't move any bit of piece like it shows here, just the full body as one big piece.

I have a question if still anyone looking this video :D. İ created basic attack animation but sword i attached my character not move in animation is there any fix for it?

i previously watched a 1 hour video on rigging and sequencing and still couldnt do what this tutorial achieved in 4 minutes.

is this needed if we download animations on Mixamo? doesn't that already do the animations for us?

did like you but nithing happened i placed my mannequin in a attack punch position and it stays like that all the 15 frames

How do you export this into an animation sequence? or other

Great video, helped me a lot with animation, this this i the best way to animate, but how can i attach a weapon in sequencer?

When I add the animation its doesnt show any control to edit like it does in the video

Thank you bro

I'm running into an issue where I'll set the beginning and end of the animation but when i try to make the point in the middle, it's changing the poses I set on the first two points. The changes I'm making to frame 15 seem to also be affecting frames 0 and 30 :/ edit: Whenever I move pose the character, the dot seems to already be on the grid without me clicking track

Thank you sir

Thank you.

Really in 5 minutes bro teach how to animate thanks 😊😊😊

When i export to animation, my ue5 freeze and i cant leave it or do something. That totaly stop and i have to turn off my pc every time 😬 dis someone have an answer pls ??

i cant for the life of me get my character to move only the shoulders will slightly its been a problem for months and im to the point where i cant move on in my project until its done please help

I am having trouble with finalizing my animation, only my head moves when I open my animation sequence, yet my arms move. Is there any way to fix this?

Does this support IK rigs and such? This looks really frigging cool, but if I can't use IK to actually animate the character, I'll have to stick to a 3D software

Is there a way to use this technique/tool for normal gameplay for a character that you're controlling, and not just cutscenes and cinematics? I want to create animations like sitting down, standing up or picking up something for my character in a first-person game, but I can't seem to figure it out. As in pressing "E", and then your character sits down or you pick up something etc.

Thank you!!!!!

Thank you very much. How i didn't see this???

Anyone know why my sequencer window is completely blank?

Can you do this with any character you import into unreal 5 or does this work with just the mannequin?

how do i make this a game animation?

im new to unreal how do you all have the Mannequins? i dont see it anywhere

i did it like in the video, but i cant see the lines to edit the position... in the timeline theres also only one blue block... any ideas?

I'm trying out Unreal and when I select an animation there is no handles to manipulate the rig. What does this mean?

how could i possibly animate the lower body of the mannequin?

Hey, can I do this with FPS-Arms?. When I add it to the scene and add as a track I do not see the lines which you you to change the animation.

I made an animation this way and then the foot IK control rig in the third-person character blueprint messed up the feet instead of working normally. Not sure what is happening.

how would I add animations to a blank state and new avatar or do I have to use the default animations?

Unfortunately this doesn't work on the UE4 manaquin the same way which is a shame, because I wanted to do the same thing for the FPS arms but they still use the oldschool mesh

Hi, custom animations made from video will be considered unique to the UE marketplace or not.

"Bake to control rig" does not show my own control rig asset for some reason, thus I can not edit existing animation

no fucking way i think i finally got the solution to editing an animation that was stubbornly not changing. for anyone stuck with mannequin not moving legs, theres a little red box on his ankles. select it and move the whole leg from there. literally wont work any other way

awesome tutorial just very low volume

3:34 / 4:12 nah play the animation

why isnt it so simple for me? when i do this it just puts me in the animation mode and now im lost

I can't see the bones when I add it to the sequence. 0:34

Heyo how come is the audio so low 😕

For an Animation Sequence can it be begun with the maniquin up in the air? I want to create a create character animation where when they click a sex the maniquin flies into view, lands in a kneeling position, stand up and brush their arms off.

how do I turn it into Anim montage Edit never mind

Will it work in ue4 🤔?

I need help, I don't see all of the little lines on the character when I add in the mannequin into my level sequencer? Nvm, I figured it out.

That tutorial is bad, I just created the sequencer then added the animation, but no colored line that can let me manipulate my character and therefore I'm incapable to complete this tutorial. I'm just at 0:41 of the video lol. To anyone watching this video, don't bother trying to complete this tutorial, the author will most likely not even bother to respond to any commentary asking for help for a +1 year old video if you need debug. It would had help me to know if this tutorial worked just by looking the Likes/Dislikes ratio of this tutorial just like in the old days of KZfaq. Now you have to watch multiple tutorials before finding one that is good and that thig actually worked.

your voice is very low 😭😢

You totally skipped over additive and absolute options.... Which are very important for animating..

This is very poorly made, Good luck figuring out how to get rig to show up.
