"Root contains root motion curves"
I'm importing a quadruped that animates with root motion. It technically works (the basics function), but I can't access the looping optimization panel in the Animation tab of the import settings.
.
The panel says "Root contains root motion curves". Which doesn't sound like a problem to me, and I can't find any information about this message. All of this makes me think I'm missing something obvious.
.
Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction? Thanks!
.
Further notes:
- Animation type is Generic
- Root node is a top-level translation bone
- An Animator is applied, with Root Motion checked

You need to select Root in the FBX rig settings. And put in None to Motion field in Animation Tab if something else was displayed there.

I had the same issue, I had to scroll down to the Motion-> Root motion node and set this to None in the Animation Import Settings of my character.

Hey! I have a similar query. Did you figure it out yet?

Try changing the "Rig" "Animation Type" to "Humanoid" and once you apply the change you should see the 'Root Transform' items in the "Animation Tab". Also leave 'Root Motion Node' as 'None'.
