FaceFX runtime install

Hey guys!
I downloaded the facefx runtime for use in Unreal Engine. I am familiar with UE4 and I can see the plugin in UE4 no problem. What do I do with the FaceFX runtime plugin so that I can create output files from FaceFX that will be used in UE4?

I feel like this is probably obvious, but the readme file in the plugin doesn't say what to do with it. I am using windows, but I guess that may be assumed since we are talking about FaceFX.

Thanks!

Be sure to look at the readme specific to the python plugin. It is found in the "FaceFX Runtime Binaries" package here: tools/compiler/plugin/README.md

There are full installation and usage instructions there.

You can also watch the final parts of the installation and basic usage of the plugin from the video starting at 28 seconds.

I've installed the professional edition. I seem to not have the Runtime Plugin for Unreal. The option to load it in the plugin drop down isn't appearing. I've downloaded the plugins as well.

Any tips?

Are you talking about the plugin for FaceFX Studio not appearing in FaceFX Studio, or the UE4 plugin not appearing in UE4? Both plugins have detailed installation instructions in their respective README files. You can also follow along here: http://unreal.facefx.com

Note that the UE4 plugin(s) are separate from FaceFX Studio and are separate downloads.

Can you give us more information about your problem?
