subscriber and I’m having trouble with the gesture control feature for my custom avatars.

In the past, when I uploaded training footage for my custom avatar, the system would allow me to annotate gestures (such as nodding or waving) so I could later assign them to specific words in my script. However, in the current version of the Studio, the platform no longer prompts me to add or detect these gestures after the video is uploaded.

I have followed the filming guidelines, including the 30-second neutral base and the 2-second pauses between movements. Despite this, the "Gesture" tab in the right-hand panel of the Avatar Look settings is missing or empty.

Could you please clarify if this capability has been moved, or if it is now restricted to the Avatar IV engine only? I rely on these manual gestures to make my e-learning modules feel authentic.
