Important/Additional Notes:

  • Modifying the anims inside Unreal Engine requires enabling the Control Plugin (built-in Unreal). But using the anims doesn’t require it
  • UE 5.3 has a small bug in the engine where Parent Constraints become invisible in the timeline of the Level Sequencer after the engine has been restarted (it still works but is invisible). Unreal fixed this on 5.4, so I recommend using 5.1, 5.2 or 5.4 (or later) if you plan on using constraints.
