Hey, this is a major mistake in the videos. Sorry about that.

For Blender 4.0 ~ 4.3 there is another version:
gitlab.com/x190/mixamo_...
For Blender 3.6 and earlier use the original Adobe version:
www.adobe.com/products/sub...

The Mixamo addon for Blender 4.4 now has a new repository.
The addon still mostly worked but applying animations was broken because of the new Slotted Actions in 4.4. Thanks ⁨TinkerBoi for the fix!

So for Blender 4.4 use this:

@drsybren.bsky.social Blender 4.4 slotted actions working like a charm! Body armature and geo nodes driven face rig sharing the same action 😀

"fake FK pole" >>> oh, that's clever! That would be a simple and effective solution. Maybe not perfect but I think pole snapping is difficult/impossible to make 100% perfect anyway.

Oh SNAP! 😅
I managed to write a IK-FK snapping script. Rudimentary Python skills + ChatGPT = Power.
