i suppose that when i add .wav from settings i would get the audio which i placed into my scene. However, it dosent work like that we have to add the sounds into the sequencer by adding audio track but in that case i lose all the reality of the scene because the sound dosent have an attenuation etc. its the pure orginal sound.

Edit: Recording the sound which is in the scene and frames at the same time seems not possible with ue5. Some one on UE forum posted this:

"Ended up speaking to a UE dev directly and you literally have to record the output via an internal routing system like ‘voice meter’ through to a DAW like ‘Reaper’ and then syncing the footage and audio up separately, very old school. Ridiculous I know. I wrote a little blueprint that created a ‘virtual clapperboard’ so there were sounds and colours flashing in sync at the start of my footage so I could easy match the frames with the waveform peaks.''

Thank you for the video! At first I could not get the mp4 video to render, I just ended up with no file. Then I found that I needed to enable the .jpg render _as well_ and after that I did get a mp4. Maybe useful for someone else struggling with the same proble!

I am trying real hard (on MAC) and there is an error while exporting that I can't fix. Do you guys know if this works on Mac at all ? I very precisly followed all the (very good) infos.

I love when people keep everything short and to the point. You have earned another sub. Short and informative 👌

For some reason mine failed twice: command line encoder failed to set value ‘loglevel’ y option not found. I am trying to render out an ocean scene based on your 1million fish tutorial

[MaiLonMaiLao]

please help I'm rendering at 60fps with wav audio output, but my fps is only 25 fps with audio output.

[marta-dyno]

I’m getting an error, “Failed to launch encoder process, see output log for more details.” and the output says “CreateProc failed: Access is denied”. I guess ffmpeg is missing permissions or something? (I get the jpgs but no mp4)

[mitch]

Any tips on getting this to work on Mac? I followed the steps in UE 5.2.0 on my Mac and the whole thing crashed after it renders the image sequence. Anyone have any idea on how to get this to work? Or perhaps how to otherwise export H264 compressed video straight out of Unreal on a Mac? ProRes does not work on Mac.
