Cool video! Another little thing to save on GPU is to right click on camera cuts track > Thumbnails and uncheck. Helps make sequencer more stable and gives me more real-estate to work in sequencer.
Thanks for these amazing tips, can't tell how useful this knowledge would have been for me on music video I created for a client last month. you're a legend
Thaddaeus, bro.... you are amazing. Thank you, for real, you inspire me and your guidance has had the greatest impact in my creative life above all other instruction I have received which includes my undergrad at the academy of art and 10 years of watching youtube tutorials. I'm pretty broke because I chose art as a life path but work is starting to come and I WILL get you back at your support page soon and promise for as long as I am above rent I will maintain "Thad Support" as a line item in my monthly budget (just below "food" and right above "medical"). You are a treasure homie and it's not lost on me for even a moment how lucky I am, how lucky we all are, to have access to your insights. Thank you for this
Wow this is such an encouragement. It really made my day! I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It really makes everything I do worth it to make a positive impact like inspiring or solving problems. To hear that you where empowered to grow as and expand as an artist literally makes me so pumped!!!!
tip 3 I needed this today I ended up dividing sequences up in Resolve. I will use it next time. keep doing what you are doing you are a natural at this.
Just getting into Unreal, was literally worrying about how to do multiple shots with characters in some shots and not others etc.... clicked this video randomly and there it is... Other 2 tips also awesome. 10/10 video
Thanks man, I've been looking for this solution for months, the one about setting the characters to "spawnable", it makes project management so much easier!!! But now it’s created a new problem, the camera can no longer find the character for tracking focus since the actor is no longer "possessable". How do you handle this? Do you manually adjust the focal distance with keyframes? It's such a hassle, especially when, like me, you do a lot of camera movements...
Thanks for the video! Please tell me how I can render every second frame in a sequencer? That is, I need to skip one or more frames. Then render and save one. Then skip again and so on.
Yes I found the video to be helpful, I am having trouble with a scene I have my character riding a dragon but when the dragon flys the character stays in the same spot in the animation , can you do a video to show how I can make my character ride a dragon in a sequances.
I have a project I'm finishing up and have following your videos and tutorial(s) but have 3 questions concerning best practices within Sequencer in UE5. Can you do a short consultation with me? I can pay for your time. I basically did what you said not to do in this video and now have a huge sequence with a dozen shots and want to know if it's actually worth breaking them into smaller sequence shots as you show...or just render in now and never make this mistake again!
Hey ! How's it going. Unfortunately I don't do consultations at the moment. However I regards to the question, if you have already set everything up they way you have, I would just go ahead and render it how you have it. Each project is an opportunity to learn something new, so I would say just learn from it, get through the project, and apply your new knowledge on the next one.
@@azielarts Unfortunately I'm being forced to render 12,620 frames at 60FPS in small chunks because I can't figure out what is crashing my rendering. I have a Ryzen 9 5950 with 64 GB Ram and an RTX 3090 FTW3 and 850Watt power supply...using UE 5.2.1 I've turned on Virtual Shadow maps, turned off hardware ray tracing, still using Lumen, I even deleted static meshes not on screen and everything else I can think to do to make the scene as lightweight as possible and it still crashes if I try to render more than 400 frames at a time. My GPU isn't overheating and I have the latest Nvidia driver. Really could use some guidance on this.
@@nu-beings ooh, that is frustrating. I am not sure I know how to help you with that one. You can try lowering your samples or resolution. Hmmm or it might be the efficiency of the assets you are using. Are they ones you downloaded off the asset store, or did you make them yourself ?
Hey Aziel, wondering if im missing something simple regarding adding a sequence. Have got a metahuman in a new level sequence with a mixamo walk cycle on it, it walks through a house towards the front door, i was happy with it so set up a new sequence 2, which is the metahuman walking outside the house and here is where im confused, if i move the root of the metahuman from where the animation started in sequence 1 to where i want the animation to start in sequence 2 it means the root is now out of position for sequence 1. should i just leave the root at the start of sequence 1 and animate further and further away from it as i add new sequences or just duplicate the metahuman for every sequence?
Hello, thank you for your videos, they are very helpful! I am looking for how to solve a ghost effect that appears in the renders. In the first frame, the character is shown in a blurred T pose superimposed on the animation. I have read that you have to start the animation at frame -5 so that the engine has time to load the animation (or something similar), but it doesn't work for me. You sound familiar? Thanks again.
Hello!! You are welcome! Thanks for the question. This is something I have also been running into. Let me see if I can come up with a solution for you and make a video on it.
Usually, 30 fps. But really it is a preference thing. Films are 24fps, TV is 30, sports and gameplay videos are 60. It is really about the look you are going for.
thanks for this! When rendering nested sequences / shots from the master, will the separate resulting image sequences follow the number of frames as per the shots (in the master sequence) exactly? Cos sometime in davinci I like a buffer to give more freedom with edits/transitions or I might like each camera rendered out across all frames. Will this nested workflow accommodate that on rendering? Currently I don't nest the sequences and enable Render All Cameras in the Movie Render Queue settings... which has worked fine so far but I am always open to better workflows!
Is spawnable good for moving assets around please? say in shot 1 the scene looks nice but shot 2 the background is a little empty so i move some trees/rocks etc to make it more appealing, this then affects shot 1 as all my trees/rocks are moved? But i want to change my scene 'props' around a lot, to fill certain empty spaces etc What would be the best way please? In Blender its shot specific, they stay where they should be, just for that particular shot!
Ok so with spawnable objects, I used the basic fire particle (P_Fire) in a shot as a spawnable with the "Spawned" boolean ticked but it doesn't emit any particles... the entity will spawn but it just won't emit anything

@@qamartausif194 What does your scene that you are rendering look like. It might just be a heavy scene. Also, if you are reading it off of a slow hard drive that might affect it as well. You will need to try switching different things off and testing what give you a faster time. Unfortunately, I don't have a more specific answer without knowing exactly what you are rendering.
If you don't have time can you at least tell me how to get rid of this annoying reflection being captured behind my character? I have Visible in Reflections Captures ticked off for the Skeletal Mesh but it's still being captured. ruclips.net/video/yAljMG5mIQE/видео.html
Hmm that one is tricky, are you using lumen reflections? Quick and easy way is just to put a prop in front of it lol, or maybe up the roughness of the glass slightly to reduce the sharpness of the reflection
@@azielarts Yes Lumen with Raytracing off. I do have virtual Shadow maps on though. I got the reflection to go away. Just reimported the mesh and selected Not Visible in Reflection Captures...on the new mesh.
Excellent stuff Mr Aziel, a real help for those of us coming from editing/post/other 3d software backgrounds. Thank you! 👍🏼

Hello may I ask, where does the character animation get plugged into the Master Sequence and the individual camera sequences?
Great question, it can live in either, wherever your character asset is.
