I've been using the direct FBX to Unreal for Metahuman Body Animation using this method faithfully for a while now.

 

Now it no longer works and this happens. Now my character's torso and arms get elongated when I use the imported FBX.  (Shown here)

 
Then when I use iClone's Unreal Live Link, I get the animation but no movement. (Shown Here)

 

Any help would be much appreciated. This is exhausting.

Thanks so much for the quick response! I'll try this after I get off work. Question. If I exported the FBX animation from iClone at 24fps, would it cause an issue with the animation's timing if I import it into UE5 at 30 fps?  Should I export it from iClone at 30fps?

Thank you so much! I'm confident this will solve the Live Link issue. Will try this when I get off work later. Thanks!!

WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Thanks gentlemen! Much appreciated! 

So it worked on my work laptop. But when I got back home the same method didn't work. Sigh. I'm deleting the Metahuman and redownloading fresh like I did at work now. Hopefully this works. If not, I can only think to delete and reinstall UE5.2. 

The imported FBX on my laptop went back to being hyperextended and wonky for some reason. Earlier it was fine. Well the character looks fine using Unreal Live Link. The export to FBX option is broken now though.  Thanks again. 

I spoke too soon. Looks fine in Live Link when recording but when I play it back, it gets even worse. And its still stationary. I have no idea what's going on. SMH
