How do I Record gameplay into skeletal animation – 4.12

I am trying to get to grips with sequencer in 4.12 p2 and am following the How To’s in Documentation but cannot get it to work.

I have entered Third Person Character as the actor to record but when I hit the Add button at the top of Sequence Recorder I get an entry just below showing Actor as ’None’ – I presume TPC should show here. Then when I hit the Record button the Level Sequence is generated immediately but is empty and no Animation Sequence is produced.

Is this facility actually working in 4.12 / what am I doing wrong?

Problem solved.
I didn’t realize that when you click on ‘None’ the settings panel below reveals a previously hidden extension panel (which happened to be off screen) which includes additional settings including the option to select the object to record………Duuuuugh!!!
