Timecode Settings for FBX File

Export Settings for FBX Files

  • You can include timecode data during the FBX export process in iClone (File > Export > Export FBX > Embed Timeline Timecode):
  • For Unreal Editor, you'll want to activate FBX Export Options > Animation > Export Local Time.
    • When Export Local Time is enabled, the timecode of the imported file will be overwritten with the local system time, otherwise the source timecode is left unchanged.
  • For Maya and Motion Builder, there are not options for timecode export, they are included automatically with FBX exports.
