Motion Capture is something Blender doesn't do particularly well by default. Which is why there's a lot of tutorials out there with misinformation on the best way to do it.
Most tutorials just slap a motion capture rig onto their character and call it a day. But these rigs are set up for motion capture - not animation, making it virtually impossible to tweak your animation afterwards.
In this tutorial, we'll look at the right way to set up motion capture in Blender through a process called 'retargetting'.

Perhaps this should be flagged with an appropriate title and indication that it's about using a paid add-on Auto Rig Pro?
14 mins of the video shows how to use Rigify rig. Auto Rig Pro takes only a little bit over 3 min at the end for comparison. Everyone can pick what they want from it.
Works for me as is.
