Thanks!
I looks like Adobe has no intention to officially update their Mixamo addon for Blender. Fortunately, Blender addons are open source so creating community patches is not an issue. Xin / Spirited Harvest is the creator of the fix provided above. There are other community fixes on the web but this is the only one I trust to be done well. Enjoy!

This is another video about the Nonlinear animation Editor (NLA) in Blender. In this one, well do actual character animation which I hope will be a lot of fun.

This course (*Two-headed Ogre*) is being released on YouTube for FREE. The release will be gradual. The 20 or so chapters will be released once per week from May 2024 until around October 2024.

In the course Rigging a Two-headed Ogre with Rigify, you will learn advanced rigging and Rigify techniques. You will get to know how to extend, modify and customize your Rigify rigs so that you are no longer limited to using the default metarigs. Techniques covered in this course include weight painting, adding custom bones to Rigify, automating bones, rigging clothing and props, rigging armor, face rigging... and more! :)
In this chapter we will learn the basics of weight painting. Blender changed a lot of small Weight Paint settings between Blender 2.90 and 4.0. I am going to cover the differences in each version so that you can follow along regardless of you Blender version.
