How to Play a Video In-Game in Unreal Engine 5

[@Kaixiseeks1796]

I was looking for this exact thing, specifically how to run the mp4 via blueprint! Thank you much for the super concise and efficient tutorial!

[@nishantparmar5382]

for those, whos video is not playing: enable electra video player addon. otherwise it will show black screen only

[@cardsandgames]

thank you so much!

[@UNF344]

Thank you for the extra help, but what should I do if the material does not save when I exit the project?

Bro, you are a legend. I was wondering why it wasn't working. Thank You.

[@joshuawiley6506]

Dude, your videos are short, sweet and very helpful! Thanks again!!!!

[@GLmig]

4 m minute video packed with the info i needed. Thank you

[@projetsgroupeactif]

Exciting. My dream is to make a video game based on Blender and Unreal Engine 5 about nature, science and history. So this video will be very helpful to me. Fully viewed, continue!

i actually would like to know this

[@vid828]

I keep coming back to this one

[@megan8494]

Do you have any videos discussing how to add different materials to different vertex groups/faces? I come from a blender background. Just new to UE

[@rajputali8091]

Whenever Iam Applying same video of yours to my exported mesh than the video is coming too huge stretched how to cater that please tell

[@troyar]

only work on viewport fine, the movie path is ./content/movies/video.mp4, but when try in standalone dont work and the sound dont work the atenuation, any idea?

[@ivytechengineer]

Great video, thank you. I want to adapt to make the video start on a button grab.

[@saadahmed9055]

how to set the ratio the video is getting crop in the game only 1/4 screen of video is playing plzz help

[@dolphard]

Thx, will this work for online vids as well, ie live Twitch streams?

[@GorkaGames]

well for that you will need a subsystem to connect in real.-time with the server. There are a few plugins out there

[@Dnf_Jeff]

@@GorkaGamesthis, any more keywords to point us in the right direction?

[@sometimesyouneverknow4906]

Thank you! I knew there had to be some level blueprint nodes to attach to beginplay to run a video player without using level sequencer!

[@derf0007]

If I want to import a video and use it as a full screen cinematic would I have a camera go to it or is there a way to just auto play the video full screen as an event?

[@작바큰지]

Is it possible to insert it as an mp4 file instead of the gameplay?

[@studiobaxter1242]

Thanks. Would anyone know if you can attenuate the sound using a video file? I created an attenuation blueprint and added it in the section of the details panel for the mesh that has the media material, but doesn't seem to work. I assume you'd have to add a separate sound file. This seems pretty important and a pain, as you probably don't want the sound from the video playing over the whole level.

[@Durant_X]

finally a tutorial that worked! haha thanks!

[@tolgakilic7655]

Thank you so much friend!

[@Iconsense-i5m]

I enabled electro player but still not playing video

[@digitaldiggtv]

After creating is this something that can be imported into UEFN?

[@arechikitsune]

do you know of a way to add video ads thru services like admob that players can optionally view to get in game bonuses?

[@Rabbit14]

that would actually be a great idea

[@Ismatxr]

Great. I wonder how can we pckaged multiple video with size over 10gb inside android? Im thinking of using file path, but didnt work. (maybe I do some mistake)

[@ribit0w022]

hey only one of these will work in one level? or can you have multiple?

[@SaintDeus]

Thanks for precious tutorial!

[@Leomerya12]

The attenuation doesn't work for me...

[@SchriztopherGaming]

same, it's playing for the entire level instead of local...did you find a fix?

[@AIAnimationandMusic]

If it says an "array of Media player" then right click on where it says "Media Player under Variable" to change from squares to a single circle"

Hey gorka do you have any video of how to reduce the size of the packaged game in unreal engine 5, if you dont have could u pls make one

[@astonyo7544]

I have an issue to play the mp4 video on imported mesh from 3ds Max but when I create a simple plane in UE5 it plays the video. Why is this happening? Also how can we add sound separatelly?

[@mysteriarandonfan]

thank you !

[@Ren-gr1me]

great, how to do multiple videos though? event begin play will only connect to one, sequence node doesn't work

[@markjohnson6730]

Hey mate did you figure this out. I have the same issue

[@Dnf_Jeff]

@@markjohnson6730create a new media playlist. Add array elements and select each. Use open/play nodes corresponding to playlist.

[@gamesbyaaron]

Sucks they didn't streamline this for UE5. I'm still stuck here on UE4 island, but still, was hoping it was easier to add videos when I made the switch.

[@richardio2829]

How do you add more videos

[@hypersuyt3786]

How do I make the video only activate when I enter an area?

[@jackwiley2190]

Create a blueprint with a collision box sizing the whole room and in the blueprint create an on collision node for just your character (theres lots of videos explaining collision boxes) and when it gets collided with, connect the open source node set up.

[@fuddyf1022]

Is there a way to be able to play KZbin videos In a packaged project?

[@Krishna-v3t1o]

In order to use them in the Packaged version, you need to create a folder in content called "Movies" , and put your KZbin videos inside that in .mp4 format.. and change the path in the media source.. then when you package it , it should work !

UE5 is bugged with Media Players and DirectX12. There are countless threads about this. You have to go into Project Settings->Windows and change DirectX to 11.

[@steviegi584]

everytime I restart my project I have to first start the video in the media player in order for me to play/stop it in game mode. is there a way to fix that?

[@Gnda3e]

hello yo know how to do the same but instead of a video a web browser?

[@Krishna-v3t1o]

You can use the Web Browser (which was created as a widget) , then place them as an overlay of screen , You can add that widget in your static mesh (Screen) click +Add component there you can find widget just add them and in details panel under class place your web browser widget then , keep them in correct position , then when you play you can see the Web Browser widget in the screen

[@Dnf_Jeff]

@@Krishna-v3t1obut it shows a browser and couldn’t be passed as a TV right? Thanks, for anyone who digs and finds this. I noticed a play media, URL node, Library of Congress has video files accessible through browser in a url.mp4 format. I couldn’t even get that to work. But I’m hearing about this subsystem that’s needed to retrieve that information. Maybe I’ll make a video on my progress. I’ve got a TV with skip back and forth, and change channels. Rewind doesn’t work, get timestamp and resume a different video on that timestamp has been difficult but doesn’t seem impossible the nodes are there

[@MartKart8]

Do you take requests, if so can you make a video on collecting items and being able to have that same item , when on a new map, like how Mario collects stars. People often say it's easy, using game instance and never properly explain how to save import items and be able to call them from a game instance, as I can't get it to work?

[@keelan8674]

There are a few ways to do this, I would suggest you only cast to the game instance before you switch levels or at save points as constantly using a cast can have an effect on performance. Using the coin example. Create a coin count int variable on your character and then on a begin overlap event check if the player overlaps a coin. (Check if the overlapped actor is of the Coin class or give your coins a tag and check if the overlapped actor has the coin tag.) On the overlap event, add one to the coin count and destroy the coin actor instance. Create a game instance with a coin count variable (you might want a variation on the variable name, to make things clear but it doesn't matter.) When you are about to go to a new level, cast to the game instance and set the game instance coin count variable value with the coin count value stored on your player character. Now, to pass the information back to your character when you open a new level, in your character BP, on the begin play event, cast to the game instance again and set your character coin count variable value to the game instance coin count variable value. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it should work. I'm happy to help if you need more assistance.
