Is it possible to apply the shape of a G8 figure onto V4.2/M4?

in The Commons
Okay, I have my set of saved G8 characters, (Victoria, Michael, Cataleya, Hyuna, etc) but...many poses and animation blocks I'd like to use are set up for V4/M4. After an internet search (sure enough, I can no longer find that page, I should have saved it) a work-around would be to Copy the shape of the Genesis 8 figure and paste it to the Victoria 4/Michael 4 figure to give it a reasonable facsimile thereof that would work with the V4/M4 pose or animation block.
I tried...but was unable to copy and paste the shape. Is it possible at all? Did I miss a step? I won't fork out the cash for the animation blocks (I checked, those ones, in particular, don't have a Genesis 8 version) if it can't be done!

Not automatically, no. There may be a pose converter from V4/M4 to G8 that works on animations.
Well I'm not trying to convert from V4 to V8, since the animation is for V4 I would try to emulate the G8/V8 shape and apply it to Victoria 4, it's a backward conversion
Yes, and there's no automated way to do that, you'd have to do it manually.
