Dude, you saved me. I have a deadline on the 14th, after I conviced the clients that I must use UE5- my renders were looking like absolute shit, frames tearing, fireflies etc. I was on the verge of a f*ucking breakdown, and this saved me.

Did a couple of interesting tests. Rendered a 4K sequence by just using Temporal Super sampling on default settings. It cleared up all my noise on self illuminated materials. Not sure if all it’s doing is blurring it but rendered super quick and looked pretty sharp.

Another test was rendered at 4K and adding screen percentage set at 50 and another console variable of antialiasing samples..I think. Rendered quick and looks like pure 4K quality.

this was eally helpfull honestly u deserve more subs and views, thank you soo much dude

I've got the same issue with a looming deadline and having to render things quickly. I've found I'm getting acceptable results way faster using the legacy render option, setting it exr and 4k. That seems to fix the worst of the aliasing problems and is super fast (literally minutes rather than hours).

This was the way of doing it in the old days, before computers and CG, when you used physical reproduce methods into a magazine, a video tap, music or bluescreen movie. You needed to insure that you had a higher resolution master/image at hand before finalizing. The physical or mechanical reproduction always ate some of the quality in the process, an expected loss.
Exactly the same method as in your youtube clip.
I'm a Blender guy. I have always thought of doing this but haven't tried it out for real, prob just some extra waist of render time….
This is surely the right way for production: HiRes master to LoRes final Publication. Go with 13-19% extra scale, something that makes every pixel change/downscale/merge really improperly
And some 25% extra render time. Still better than im em ol’timer days.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your discovery steps! Very helpful! 👏👏👏

[thelemetric]

appreciate your videos. keep up the great work.

[sunnysomebuddy]

thank you so much, it improved my scene and render like 200%! Much appreciated and very informative video! I found struggles in the particles I am using, like birds, they increased in speed by a lot, would you have an idea how I could fix that? : )

[lifeelf]

I'm sure you could cheat the bloom in in the post process an use temporal super resolution? Render out EXR's then bring into premiere/resolve and add bloom as post process (by using only the hottest areas of the image as a mask) seems like a lot quicker method...

[outtoplay]

very interesting. Thanks for sharing this!

[michaelb]

want so much more of understanding settings this was very good Thank you

[navidumardaraz]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this information. 👌

I was rendering my animation but then I noticed that my render have some kind of double exposure, I know it's something to do with Anti aliasing and I don't know how to fix it

[JimJams-qfvv]

These settings seem to work really well. Would you get away with HD render size and higher screen percentage if a client wanted to show it on a 4k screen?

[LiveUPMedia]

So good you've found all this out. Saved me yesterday! Are these still your latest best settings?

[jamesgoodman]

Great video! And a new follower ; ) Spent the day trying to troubleshoot Lumen quality issues, In movie render queue but couldn’t get rid of flickering even at 4K and antialiasing. Will try your method. Do you raise the Finalgather quality in the post process volume or don’t bother? Cheers

[hardcorerick]

Thanks so much for these tips!
I find it quite interesting/ confusing how in the UE docs it says that Pathtracer is not ready for final pixel rendering and should just be used for reference against real time raytracing. And also that it should not be used with dynamic elements.. It seems to handle things flying around just fine! Is this a lapse in the documentation? Maybe since 5.1 or so it's more ready for us to throw non static things at it?

[WeShootFilms]

wondering if you've had this issue when I render out a scene I see preview material on certain objects I wont see it in the viewport only when I render a scene out. I've done the whole disable in visualize but its still there any thoughts.

[designomomento]

Thanks for the tutorial. I couldnt solve one issue about shadows. Seems ok on viewport but shadow looks like smearing on the surface at the back. I changed spot light attenuation to soften the shadows. But still smearing 🤦‍♂️😅

[JimJams-qfvv]

Do you bother adjusting the actual Lumen quality settings within the post process volume. Does increasing FG actually improve the quality?
