2. Drag and drop moveai .fbx animation into your Unreal project
3. Ensure the \`Import Animations\` box is checked in the .fbx import menu
4. Click \`Import All\`
5. In the imported files, find the file of type \`Animation Sequence\` 
     1. 5.1 Right-click on it

     4. 5.4. (Optional) Select the animation to preview
     5. 5.5. If you only want to retarget the animation, click \`Export Animations\`
     6. 5.6. If you want to create the retargeting files for tweaking, click \`Export Retarget Assets\`

To get an idea of the UE 5.2 IK retargeting workflow, start with the project template: Games \> Third Person. This guide describes how to retarget to the UE5 Mannequin rig and it can be applied to any other rig the same way.

1. Create a MoveOne folder where you will store MoveOne data
2. Import the move-one.fbx, check Import Animations
3. In Windows explorer (not inside Unreal Engine) Copy IK\_MoveOne.uasset to the created MoveOne folder of your Unreal project
4. If you're working inside the UE template project "Third Person", open Content \> Characters \> Mannequins \> Rigs \> RTG\_Mannequin. If you're working in your own project, create an IK Retargeter and a target IK Rig files and setup them accordingly to UE documentation
5. In the Source IKRig Asset, select the IK\_MoveOne file
6. Set the Retarget Pose to T Pose
7. In the Preview Scene Settings change the Preview Controller to the Use Specific Animation and select the MoveOne animation sequence
8. To remove bone mapping artifacts, click Auto-Map Chains and select Map All (Exact)
