Steps for reproduction:

1. Create a new project
2. Add a few placeholder meshes to the default level, save everything
3. Go to file → export all
4. Import the FBX in Maya
5. (in Maya) Create a new camera, animate and export it as an FBX
6. Back in UE4, create a matinee
7. (In matinee) go to file → import, import the camera FBX
8. You should see the camera animation is all wrong (flipped axis etc.)
