For anybody trying to figure out how to get camera pitch to not affect movement speed...

In your Movement blueprint section:
After "Get Control Rotation", create a "Break Rotator" and connect Return Value to Rotation.
Then create a "Make Rotator" and connect Z(Yaw) to Z(Yaw).
Then connect the "Make Rotator" Return Value to the "Get Forward Vector" and "Get Right Vector" nodes you created earlier (In Rot).

Very good tutorial. Importing the assets does "break" the game if you are trying to package it for exporting but that is a little out of the intended scope of this tutorial. It helped me a lot with learning unreal. Primarily with this tutorial and a few other 5 min tutorials, i was able to make a game (just a personal project) fully packaged and playable not within the unreal editor. Unf great teachers.

(I'm sorry I posted that comment too quickly. I've just realised my mistake 😅.)
Hey, it's a bit late to ask you this question...
First of all I'd like to say that as I'm writing this comment, I haven't finished the tutorial yet but I'm already sure that I'm going to give it a thumbs up! Very good explanations. Through this comment, I wanted to ask you a question: I'm currently in the "Key Pickup Functionalitty" section. at 1:36:34 In this section you're trying to ensure that when you pick up a key, it opens a door with the corresponding colour. You therefore go to the Blueprint of the "BP_Key" key and to the event graph. You reuse the custom event "Event PickedThisUp" whose native node is BP_Pickup, which is used for any type of object that can be "picked up". To use the custom event, go to "function" and find it. Strangely, I can't find it. I was able to use it once, but now that I go to the BP_Key functions, it's no longer there. However, it is still present in BP_Pickup. What should I do?
Thanks again for the tutorial (even if I haven't finished watching it yet)!

Waiting for your reply!
Have a great day :)
