When I export a Matinee Camera Animation via FBX and reimport that same FBX in another Matinee Actor, the X and Y axis of the animation are interchanged. I tried “bake all keys” with the same effect. Seems to be a bug?

Hello Mate,

Would you provide reproduction steps leading up to the Axis Change. This is so I can test this on my machine.

Thanks,

This is a long known issue that has not been handled yet. I have now opened a new bug that involves exporting a .fbx matinee animation and then immediately reimporting it. When you reimport your animation your x and y are interchanged.

The ticket number is UE-25836

I do not have an ETA for when or if this issue will be resolved. Thank you very much for reporting this to us.
