Is Matinee required for moving platforms?

hourences, you say timelines will work without matinee? Can you explain how to achieve this? I know that in most cases, matinee would be the way to go for an escalator, but for testing purposes, I wanted to know if this can be done via imported animations. This could lead to some amazing interactions, (such as running around on a giant skeletal meshes back like “Shadow of the Colossus”)

Animating the escalator in matinee brings up another question. Would each step have to have its own matinee actor? Sounds like it would get a little crazy if there was 30+ steps…
