Mixamo import bugged.

Hi, when I import an animation I’ve downloaded from mixamo, my character is swinging it’s legs about and looks different to what is was in mixamo. I can’t find anything similar to this

Hey @DylanJM!

The Mixamo animations don’t play well with the UE5 skeletons. If you want, you can manually adjust all of the problem animations and bones yourself in something like Blender or Maya. You can also bring in a Mixamo skeleton instead, or you can use the UE4 skeleton, but that keeps you from using UE5 animations on that skeleton.

Alternatively, if you really want to use the UE5 skeleton, there are resources on the marketplace that will convert your Mixamo animations to work with UE5 skeletons. They will cost upwards of $30, but until Mixamo has a way to do so themselves, it’s the most sure-fire way. There are a TON of tutorials online on how to do it, but seriously- I’ve watched SO many and they all end up saying “Go to the marketplace and buy ______” about 3/4 of the way through the video.
