This is a tutorial on getting started with the sequencer of unreal engine 4 (ue4) to create cutscens. We setup a simple sequence with camera movement and animations for a character.

at 0:33, I could not stop laughing when I heard you said that "Name Your sequence like, any cool name, MyLevelSequence for example. "

I wonder what the story is behind the camera being called CineCameraActor2 in the Sequencer window, and being called CineCameraActor3 in the preview Thanks for sharing this vid!

[PERONOOBGAMING]

im not able to get live preview of my sequencer..how can i do tht..i wanna setup dmx ..and wanna see is it working well with beats or not..but im not able to get it in my viewport..i even switched it to cinematic mode..still not able to get cinematic view

[MrReactric]

how to make a trigger for this cinematic camera movement ? for example, he approaches to door and cinematic animation starts then game continues. :)

[siddharthpaul]

am doing same as yours...but how can i run LED screen (media player) in cinematic?

[wowersdh]

I need help. setting autoplay doesnt work. even though I deleted all camera except sequence but keep showing default camera.

Really noobie question: how do you trigger something like this? If I wanted to just move an object, but move it on a trigger, where do I add that trigger in Sequencer?
Followup noobie question: if I wanted to move a character, and have the character play their normal walking animations while moving, where should I look to get started with that? Can I only trigger a specific animation? Might look weird when moving, is what I'm afraid of.

oh this is way more simple than the blender's one

[mialgrovfxandtemplates]

And how to save your animation as video after that? I clicked on the "render this movie" and it not show the animation, only an static camera.

[Nyarty]

Thank you! Problem: What version of unreal is this? I have the 4.10 and clicking on cinematics make me choose only "Add Metinee" not "Add Leve Sequence"....

[Retronozzle]

Thanks for this, any idea how to get a Blender camera animation FBX export to face in the correct direction when imported in UE4 sequencer? Tried all different forward and up configurations, but can't get the cineCam facing as per my Blender scene.

[WildChildStudios]

thanks man... really helpful... one question... can I export 3d stereoscopic render (side by side) from unreal engine???... not 360, side by side... I want to watch that output in my 3d projector... thanks

[exildlivecom]

I click on the record but the camera doesnt move! What am i doing wrong?

[anokmaran]

Thanks for the tutorial!
Can you please make a tutorial about making character animated with Cloak (using cloth) then import and export so it will work on Unreal Engine sequencer?
