Metahuman Animator submenu/Capture manager not appearing

The Metahuman Animator submenu in the Content Brower contextual menu, and the Capture Manager in the Tools menu as shown in the tutorial “How to Use MetaHuman Animator in Unreal Engine,” are not appearing. I am on a windows 10 Pro machine (10.0.149045 build 19045), using Unreal engine 5.2.0 with MetaHuman Plugin 5.2.0 installed. I was able to successfully import my metahuman character into the project with no errors. I’ve quit and restarted Unreal. But these menus still do not appear.

Can you double check if the MetaHuman plugin is enabled in your project?

Yes, that was it. I thought it showing as installed in the launcher meant it was active, but I guess as it’s experimental, it’s disabled by default on starting a new project.

Thank you.

An installed plugin doesn’t necessarily mean an enabled plugin, so even if you have installed a plugin in the engine, it might not necessarily be active for new projects. Glad you got it working
