Character Device no longer supports animations in sequencer

[Wertandrew]

Summary

I was following this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAKM-RbDbsk&ab_channel=MichaelEdwardRicks) on how to add animations to a character device, but what is shown in 8:32 is no longer possible, the sequencer no longer sees any animation as compatible

Same issue? Fixed Point Camera cannot be animated through sequencer

[Wertandrew]

No that’s a different issue. I am referring to the character device (animating characters), linked issue is referring to a camera device (aka a gameplay camera)

[Flak]

Ok, I’ll get this to the team.

Hi, @Wertandrew this is by design.

From one of our devs:

The animations in the Animation Starter template will be considered as a different skeleton than the one used on the Character Device. To use those animations in Sequencer, you can go to the Option → Allow Incompatible Skeletons as attached, and all the assets would be usable after that.
