	5) Right click the new animation file and choose "Retarget Anim Asset>Duplicate Anim Asset and Retarget"		At this point you will have the new animation working for the Mixamo skeleton.

			5) Open the target skeleton and execute the steps to set retarget source and rig as shown in this video:

			This will allow the skeleton to be see as "compatible" in the retarget window. If your skeleton is not appearing in the retarget list then the step 5 is missing.

			6) Right click the new animation file and choose "Retarget Anim Asset>Duplicate Anim Asset and Retarget". This step must be done after step 5, or it will not work.
