This is just a guess, I am using more of my own logic than knowledge of UE4. 
But I am thinking your BP can only occur in real-time, since it is calculated on runtime.  It's like a live-take only.  Kind of like filming real-life rain, you only get what the scene gave you at runtime.  
I am gleaning what you are actually wanting instead is for the blinks to be calculated, and then plotted out via being keyed-in on the timeline, where they could then be played back per the timeline's instruction.  This would be like CG-rain.  (I don't myself know of a BP way of doing this, not because there isn't one, but because I am only at 10% of understanding!)

Hello Kevin.L
I only found this
Animation Blueprints with Sequencer
I think Bassline can give the right answer.
I have little experience with blueprints.

For NOOBS:

Thanks, everyone for your input I will keep trying your suggestions.


Warped Reality VFX.

I will say this of Blueprints - F%$#!!!!!!!
So, UE4 is very very very unforgiving with hierarchy of folders.  Meaning, move one thing out of place from what it was expecting, and BOOM, you can cascade issues across a whole entire project.
But, this not only goes for materials and shaders, but for Blueprints themselves!  If you change something from where it was placed on a graph previously, or delete and reinsert something someplace else, BOOM.
Do yourself a favor and copy the entire project periodically, you never know when catastrophe may hit.  And, I would say get the skeleton of a project first in working order before you start importing in stuff and/or adding stuff in.

On the flip side, do some blueprint projects along with a Youtube video, you won't regret it. 
An hour may look like a long time of plodding through, but just compare that hour of learning vs 2 days from now where you spend a whole-day wishing you had some understanding.  It gets easier.
So now you know, and knowing is half the Battle....GI JOE!!!!!!!!!

Sorry folks , totally busy right now , but here I show you an Update of the Live Link Face BP for CC3+ Characters , still not finished and take a look at my well organized BP :D

Look at the right side of the AnimGraph window, on the lower left of the screen, where it says "Preview Mesh Animation Blueprint" :laugh:

Is that using your UE4-direct iPhone Blueprint?  
NICE!
