The title says it all. After having all kinds of weird problems with AnimStarterPack (including, but not limited to AnimOffset hands moving at different speeds) I took a second look and saw that the IK handles of the skeleton were stuck in place.
I have reported the first issue where Animation Starter Pack IK handles are not moving as JIRA [UE-22005].
The second part of this issue, where the IK handles have been rotated 90 degrees forward has already been reported as JIRA [UE-21242].
When one or both of these issues have been resolved, we will notify you with an update to this post. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Thank you very much! I am glade that the result came out as you wanted taking into account that I am a programmer and not an animator (took me about a week)
