How To Create A Basic Cinematic Cut Scene - Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial

Hey guys, in today's video, I'm going to be showing you how to create a beautiful cinematic cut scene for your game in Ue4. You can trigger it and have it play in your game and prevent the player from moving, if you wish, while it is playing.

Some tips for everyone. If you klik on the little world thingy in the top right corner of the viewport next to the move rotate and scale buttons, you can more easily move your camera. If you go to view options you can Link the camera to the viewport. So you see full screen what you're actually looking at. For people who want to do a focus thingy. Add a empty actor and follow focus on that. Add the empty to the timeline. So you can make it move.

[@MattAspland]

Thank you so much for the helpful extra tips again! :)

[@SanneBerkhuizen]

@@MattAspland always a pleasure! It's the least I can do.

[@rifat.ahammed]

Thank You

[@thenoobdev]

Great tutorial! No extended bla bla, straight to the point on how to do it! Thanks for sharing 👏🏻

[@modernsimsguru9409]

Thanks man really appreciated simple and too the point !

[@milfgaard5495]

Absolutely perfect and very useful, thank you very much!

[@TheTimeOfYear]

Thanks Matt, this helped me make a cutscene for my horror game!

[@themarqua3321]

I have been watching these videos nonstop... and you should really update these, some of these nodes dont exist anymore... love the vids they help me so much!

[@dmain9102]

thanks for teaching me this is really helpful

[@bananaboy1100]

Needed to make a poster board art exhibit thing for college and asked if I could do it digitally instead. Thanks to this tutorial I can now Keyframe the camera around the art exhibit and export that video instead of doing it with poster board / my phone!

[@Si-Toecutter]

I frikin love you bro!

[@fahimshahriar2154]

Love you brother! 💙

[@MattAspland]

Happy to help!

[@CoolNite]

Thanks for the content. You really helped me out. Just a quick question When the cutscene stops playing. I want the player to be at the place where the cinematic ends. How do you do that?

[@rifat.ahammed]

Thank You Very Much

[@Sheldinator]

hi, how can i make a specific schematic and assign it to a button in the main menu which plays a cinematic of my architecture? thanks

[@CoolNite]

Another question: How do you disable that preview on the camera? I can't see anything that I'm moving because of that

[@cole8208]

I can't seem to get light shafts from directional light to show up in CineCameraActor.. does anyone know how to do this?

[@JustZiReacts]

Nice work❤

[@MattAspland]

Thank you! :)

[@Fred-mt5co]

Hey bro,how could i do for the cutscene activated at certain point of the map,for example when you open a door the cutscene start... how could i do this ???

[@Tiffany-6910]

So, I got my camera, got my sequencer, hooked the camera up to the sequencer through tracking, create my first keyframe on 0.00, move my timer out to 5.00 and when I click to set my next set of keyframes after positioning my camera, it just keeps snapping back to the original position in all channels. I've tried deleting the camera and the sequencer and reloading, but it just keeps doing it. :-< I did post this to the UE forums, but who knows

[@serjaoberranteiro4914]

hey, im trying to desable the Character Moviment in Level Blueprint, but at this point im using a new possed character in the game, and it not work cuz i can't plug Character moment in Desable moviment or in Cast to character... what i should do?

[@43rgwerg]

4:44, I'm havving that same issue where I press the add keyframe and it just doesn't keep the new location/rotation. Does anyone know why this occurs?

[@narrgamedesigner2747]

How do you get it from looping back to the start? as it finishes the player character ends up back at the start of the sequence

[@chengxuyuanderprogrammiere4639]

thanks, how can i do this at the beginning of the game?

[@EthanFilms]

i am experiences a craaaazy bad glitch everytime i begin the level and the camera attempts to play. maybe its trying to occupy the player and camera simultaneouly but it flings the camera off into space and makes no sense

[@detlefhochgeschurz3573]

Amazing

[@MattAspland]

Thanks mate!

[@nickgeiserr]

Cool!

[@MattAspland]

Thanks man! :)

[@MisterWealth]

Mine didn't pop up so I can't keyframe or anything, what am I doing wrong?

[@pvt.vassili9863]

Hey..Great video..how can i stop AI movement during the cutscene? like i want to freeze everything while playing the cutscene

[@AndrejaPopovik]

Can you tell me how to modify this blueprint so that the cinematic starts at BEGIN PLAY. I want it as an intro cinematic starting immediately when the player starts playing the game. Please help me with this :)

[@cyb3rgamez116]

How the hell are you getting the camera to remain locked? Like change from the 3rd person avatar to the other? I'm doing the same thing as you but not getting the same result

[@nickgeiserr]

Could you make a tutorial on Distanced sound? Where the sound is attached to a object like a flying plane so it’s loud when right about you and fades away

[@MattAspland]

Hi, I could definitely do this if you would like, but you could also create a sound cue with the audio you would like, and place it on the plane flying overhead, therefore playing it at the location when it moves around the level. Again though, I can still make a video on it if you would like :)

[@sameervakil4386]

How to change playback speed and lock it i am trying but it is going on 1 times speed i am trying to lock on 0.5 speed

[@AmierAzzeal]

Adding Keys at the location (X, Y or Z) the way you showed just sends my camera somewhere else. After some testing adding a key to transform works just fine. Not sure if this is a difference in version or something else.

[@saeones]

Thank you

[@litchi8300]

thank you so much

[@tamasszenasi2320]

My Trigger Box stopped working, it is not activating the cinematic video on the first person character overlapping it

[@James-id7ld]

when i click track to add cinecam1 after that my camera is gone

[@jonathonistrainwreck4131]

Nice! Also Could you do a tutorial about QuickTime events?

[@MattAspland]

Thank you! And I can add it my list yeah, great idea! :)

[@jonathonistrainwreck4131]

:D

[@jonathonistrainwreck4131]

How did you learn how to do all this stuff with blueprints?

[@MattAspland]

I learnt by just getting in Unreal and messing about with it all, seeing what different nodes did and how they acted with each other, as well as KZbin, Google and Books. I'm also currently working on a video about how to start learning Ue4 if you'd be interested in that :)

[@jonathonistrainwreck4131]

@@MattAspland Ok thanks! :)

[@litchi8300]

when i start the cutscene, the camera doesnt show. im still in the perspective of my character

What your spec of computer.. RTX ? or GTX ?

[@ageofreakon7940]

i have a mini map on my character. it shows in the cutscene. how do i remove from cutscene?

[@litchi8300]

you have to hide the hud

[@kickasskee9546]

i dont have the get sequence

[@XnathOW]

You could use Do once in the beginning aswell. That way theres no way it'll do something strange like try to delete the box after its been deleted... Unreal engine 4 things :s

[@MattAspland]

Ha yep that's very true! Nice work :)

[@XnathOW]

@@MattAspland Haha I've been working on a game project with Unreal recently, and ran into enough randomly triggering errors. Thank you for the tutorial, really helpful :)

[@MattAspland]

@@XnathOW Yeah Unreal knows how to test your patience sometimes lol No worries though man, good luck with your project :)

[@Mrkev217]

Can you add to cinematic scene some props or character doing animation and after cinematic play somethings will disappear some will stay in place

[@MattAspland]

Yeah you can definitely do that, you could simply place them there in the world and toggle their visibility and collision for when the cinematic starts. So have a character there, but the player can't see them, the cinematic starts, set its visibility to visible, the cinematic ends, either leave it as visible or toggle it back to not visible (un ticked) Hope you know what I mean :)

[@Mrkev217]

@@MattAspland I think i get it thanks

[@MattAspland]

No worries, let me know if you need an extra hand :)

[@nickgeiserr]

I had two question,First off I was wondering how to make a door that slides open when your close enough...so like proximity doors and stuff. Second,I was wondering how to make stuff move throughout the scene like how battlefield has planes flying above you and stuff

[@MattAspland]

Hi, for the first question, I do have a video on that. I'll link it down below. Hope it helps :) Secondly, the easiest way would be doing a level sequence or timeline, or even an animation, of what you would like, for example a plane flying, and then simply loop that so it is playing throughout your whole game, or whenever you want it to play.

[@nickgeiserr]

Matt Aspland does a level sequence need to use a camera or can it just use assets?

[@MattAspland]

@@nickgeiserr It can use assets too, for example it could open a door using a Door Static Mesh. Just select what you want to use, and go to Tracks>Add Actor

[@photoman123456]

Can't understand, why during render I see image not from my camera? I have a simple scene: 1 moving camera and static mesh. Trying to render, but see a static image from player start. What I'm doing wrong?

[@MattAspland]

Hey, did you definitely trigger it to play, and if so are you definitely referencing the correct camera to watch?

[@photoman123456]

@@MattAspland I think no, because I dont know how to do it :-)

[@adelsalahdabaie79]

i don't have a character and i want the cutscene to start as i hit the play button , how can i do that ?

[@MattAspland]

You can do the same process, but where I got the level sequence and play, you will get that but off of "Event Begin Play" in your "Level Blueprint". Hope this helps :)

[@bloxxer02]

having two or three monitors helps a whole lot too.

[@dmain9102]

but after the cutsene is over my charictar gets stuck and cant move?

[@dmain9102]

i figued it out my camera time is 30 but my video time is 15 so i just set the delay time to 15 not 30

[@JUMPCUTART]

moving pivot of camera like a zig zag from point A to B to animate a dolly camera is something not user friendly...

[@tyler9337]

Thanks, but man you went waaay too fast on the blueprint for me to keep up.

same idk what to do

[@matthewnaylor5826]

have you managed to fix it? i have the same problem

[@nad1901]

This is not a cut scene mate! The title is wrong! A cut scene is between multiple cameras .....
