Full Beginner UE5 Tutorial - Animate a parkour roll vault from zero to game-ready (everything but the polish!) using the layered animation workflow!

In this part 1 of 2 tutorial, we bring video reference into unreal and set up our sequencer for animation, then walk through, demonstrate, and explain the entire process of animating a character from start to finished blocking pass (ready for polish) using a different workflow than last time, the layered animation workflow, which can produce much more natural animations quicker than the pose-to-pose workflow.

Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see my process for editing the reference on this one (I recorded it but didn't include it to keep the video shorter).

Video reference I used:    • Roll Vault- Parkour with Flips & Tumbles  

Part 2 will cover the optional polish step and in-engine iterations and stylistic changes based on trying it out in-game in the Unreal Editor.
