Please follow our submission template and guidelines, also read these tips about bug reports, and make a complete, valid bug report, with required info, precise description of the issue (only ONE issue per report!), precise steps to reproduce it, small and simple .blend and/or other files to do so if needed, etc.

Also, are the animations also empty when you re-import the FBX in Blender? And please attach here a screen shot of the Animation parts of your export settings…

I fixed it by renaming the Armature object inside of Blender to something else. Looks like if you import an FBX file to UE4 with an Armature called "Armature" the animation appears blank inside of the engine, so Blender has nothing to do with this, if anything it should be reported to Epic Games.
