How to start a character AI in a video?

I’m new to Unreal and I’ve created a simple character AI using an animal from the Marketplace Animal Variety pack. Its a basic walk animation that will run in game mode.

What’s the best way to start the AI animation in a video vs game play?

I have not found a solution using blueprint.
The sequencer can use imported animated characters, so that will work for now. Using AI controlled animations would have allowed for a drag and drop method to adding multiple walking animals in a project intended for video only.
