How do I get Vertical and Lateral Speed?

I am working with UE4’s character blueprint and movement component, and I was wondering if there is a way to get the capsules vertical speed and its lateral speed separately? I would like my characters In Air animations to be controlled by how fast he is moving up or down, and how fast he is moving across the XY plane. I know how to get velocity in the Anim blueprints event graph and control a variable with it, but the velocity is both up or down, and left or right/front to back. So I need to be able to get its different velocities separately from one another. I am relatively new to blueprint, and I am an animator not a programmer :(. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance!
