Animation basic execution.

Simple training: I did everything in this video: https://youtu.be/wwI5ZqPKxS8, and everything worked until the very last. I animated a custom character in maya, imported it into the 3rd-person starter level of Unreal 5.3, placed the asset in, added the animation asset as per the video; the character struck the beginning pose of the animation, but when I hit play game; the character stayed static. In the video, the character begins playing the animation. What simple step/setting am I missing to have the animation play in the game?? Thanks.

Hey @str009009! Welcome to the forums!

When you open your animation asset in Unreal, does it play as expected? Can you share a screenshot and/or video of what you are experiencing?

Any additional specifics or information you provide can go a long way in solving your problem!
