Metahuman Identity from video: video not showing (UE5.6)

I’ve been trying to create a Metahuman from a video clip.
It’s my understanding that you can do this now from any video (mono) without any depth data.
I bring the clip in through the Livelink hub, and I can see it and play it in engine, but it doesn’t appear after being selected for the identity. I’ve tried both the jpeg and png formats from linvelink hub.
Am I missing something or is this a bug, I haven’t found any helpful information on the forums or YT.

Same problem here. I believe it requires depth data to create an identity. With a mono video I successfully created a MetaHumanPerformance, it just won’t appear in the identity creation, and all the playback buttons are disabled as in the screen capture. No documentation mentioned depth data is required though.

It’s not that it requires depth data the problem because I have the same issue of video not appearing and I have videos with depth data imported

EDIT:
I fixed it by changing the import in the live link hub from mono video ingest to take archive ingest
