Unreal Engine 5 Compositing Tutorial - Composite Any Scene Fully Inside of UE5

50% OFF UNREAL ENGINE FOR FILMMAKERS COURSE until 11/24: boundless-resource.com/ultima...
FREE Unreal Engine for Filmmakers Beginner Course: boundless-resource.com/beginner/
Website: boundless-resource.com
In this video, I go over a new pipeline for compositing fully inside of Unreal Engine 5! In the video, I walk you through exporting a 3D tracked camera from After Effects into Unreal Engine, then setting up your footage to be locked to the camera view via the Image Plate Plugin in Unreal. This is a great workflow for bringing reference footage into Unreal Engine if you are creating a VFX shot in which you are compositing footage.

"i know this isnt perfect" my ass, looks much better than any virtual production with live camera tracking ive ever seen, you sir have just earned a sub

[@kingdom_song]

this is awesome bro

Amazing tutorial!

[@aashay]

Incredible tutorial. Quick question - Does Unreal Engine 5 support displacement now?

[@isaaccutler4003]

Thank you so much!

[@ImaginaFX]

I wonder if it would be possible to do the reverse process, instead of introducing a real actor inside unreal, introduce an unreal actor or object inside after effects with its shadow catcher or similar

[@emarinm1]

thanks for the information. Right now I need to know how to get a camera tracking and put it in unreal to build architecture on video. One of the questions is if you have information on how to work with a shadow catcher material to have shadows in the video and also what considerations should be taken to try pathtracing. I hope you have information about it. Very good video, thank you.

[@davewaldmancreative]

Hey sam. I just found sth super useful. UnitScale in blender must be 0.01. Now my ae to blender camera is perfect.

[@AmitBensangi]

thank you for this amazing tutorial! is there a way or a workaround that the image plate can cast shadows? it seems it doesnt support shadows...

[@Boinkadoink_]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWrRnqibZ9F8mqMsi=ZpwmqZEzc5HJCZDI this video covers that

[@yiyanluo2878]

I have to raise a question, which is that whether I use UE5.1 or UE5.0 to render this video texture, the video screen in the rendering results often gets stuck, showing black edges, and I can hardly find any way.

[@LiveUPMedia]

hey im doing exact same thing but i want to then go back to after effects to use super comp to blend the layers (even though you did a stellar job!) how can we create the clean isolated plates of the footage of you and the footage of the cg background all with their new movement. effectively just rendering separate clips of you and separate clip of the cg background so we can re composite back in after affects

[@dominckmaddox7439]

Thank you for the tutorial. Is it possible to export several camera tracks of different shots from AE to the same UE5 scene?

[@Ramin_RA-CONCEPTION]

Should if you Creat new Cuts in UE

[@YugiohRLDSWebSeries]

Aamzing tutorials as always! I have one question though. Its a bit of a reverse engineering of this: I have a stable green screen shot, and I want to track it to a CGI UE5 shot. How can I export the camera settings from Unreal TO After Effects? And not vice versa?

[@film42tv]

Select the camera and any objects you want and Export an fbx from the timeline menu. It creates a 3d scene with camera and objects. Works in fusion very well

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

Try to do everything in unreal when 5.1 comes out pls

[@yghjjhgj]

HI , Did you add translation files for your paid courses lessons, as you promised me earlier?

[@gamer283game5]

more complicated one. your lody needs to soft nice. 808(app) should also fit with the lody and the rythm. snare and percussion

[@filipstevens6263]

awesome , is it possible to put myself in a video shooting zombies in Unreal Engine 5, and do i need a greenscreen to film myself

[@thevfxguy_tvg]

Can we exclude Imageplate from all effects like post process, lighting etc.? Or in other words I want imageplate to display image sequence as it is ..

[@naifox1]

Why dont you use Davinci Resolve that is best that AE to compose etc

[@ApexArtistX]

would you know how to create a shadow catcher material in unreal ?

[@Maxparata]

Unfortunately, the image plate is affected by the post processing. Which is not desirable for composing an footage on a CG background. Is there a way to make the footage unaffected by post process?

[@user-kj7gs8bv3o]

Dear all new producers - don’t give up on that hope of making good soft

[@unseen.pixels]

5:00 Is there any faster way to import pre-keyed footage than this? I'm making a film with green screen/virtual production like this, but honestly one of the major reasons I'm planning on using Blender instead of Unreal is because importing pre-keyed footage takes 5 seconds in Blender but seems like it's 5 minutes in Unreal. I've watched the tutorials and done it before but I can't imagine taking the time to go through that process for every single clip. Is there any easy way to replace the clip or speed that process up somehow?

[@samsara1998]

UE 5.1 has apparently just introduced a new feature called 'Media Plate' to drag & drop footage in. I'm much the same as you, I gave up on UE & went back to Blender with its 'Images on planes' for inserting video into 3d scenes..hopefully 'Media plate' is basically the same thing

[@unseen.pixels]

@@samsara1998 Oh nice, thanks for sharing, that's promising news!

[@agnojrrogelior6363]

stay on tune with what you want to learn, just because it's hard now, doesn't an it's impossible. It's all about ntal mindset and

Does unreal engine 5 work on mac? all i have is a macbook m1 pro?

[@jp-is1is]

yeah

[@junipersworlddd]

it wont let me set ground orgin how do i fix this

[@dreamarcade_]

You drag it in and parent to camera and it works immediately. I drag it in and parent to camera and it goes to the other side of the map and becomes invisible. Help?

[@Traversable_Dale]

I'm having the same issue :/

[@johnnyray5515]

What if I don’t use Adobe. I do all my video editing via Davinci Resolve.

[@robertcrystals]

You skip way too much stuff.

[@imiy]

Gosh, why is it so ridiculously complex...

[@straightcheeks4756]

¸actually its not. but usually a whole team works on this kinda stuff. one team just composites, one works in unreal, one does motion tracking

[@imiy]

@@straightcheeks4756 well yes, it is. It's just a bunch of clicks here and there which I'm sure could and must be automated. So you drag the image sequence and it does all that technical stuff. Not everyone works in a team, nor should. That's called progress and labour optimisation.

[@straightcheeks4756]

@@imiy actually labor optimization is working in a team. If you dont understand this, we have nothing more to speak about. And there cant be any automatizations as after effects doesnt have the tools to go straight into unreal engine, thats why cinema 4d is needed. But if you know to use the 3 programs, the stuff showed in this video are very simple.

[@imiy]

@@straightcheeks4756 obviously, i meant the UE part. Although they could make export directly from Ae possible. If you don't understand that labour optimisation isn't adding more labour of other people than we indeed have nothing to speak about.

[@straightcheeks4756]

@@imiy adding more people is definitely one way of optimizing. Thats a fact. But there are also other ways. However, for the best optimization you would have a team working on different areas of a process while also optimizing every different area itself.

Cinema4D: stop watching video

[@VFXforfilm]

Aren’t you being hypocritical/contradicting ending the rant on a product plug to do a “fully CG” render in unreal (with only one element: a person in green screen) that will “blow you away”? As an industry VFX Compositor for years I get tired of these millions of filmmaker channels too lazy to learn 3d tools in the industry to hacking a quick fix unreal engine comp. That’s lazy filmmaking, crapping on FX artists when you’re too lazy to pick up nuke or Maya or houdini but being another lazy gamer your ok with Unreals preset easy environment creation. My good friend spent a year on one FX shot in Black Widow. Did an amazing job. You guys are the same hipster crowd that cry’s “I want to shoot on film and not digital because it’s more organic!”.

[@BoundlessEntertainmentFilms]

You sound a tad bitter, friend. The point of my channel is to show people what I'm working on and, as someone whose primary focus is filmmaking, help guide people like me to the tools and techniques I've found helpful as I try to begin to push this realtime technology. Your assumptions about me as a person are completely incorrect (I haven't even touched a video game in years and I'm far from being a hipster) - but either way, nothing you've said makes my points incorrect, because objectively, they are correct. And to be fair, film is more organic because it's a chemical process and not a digital one. So by definition it is more organic 😉

[@VFXforfilm]

@@BoundlessEntertainmentFilms not bitter just fatigued from lazy KZbinrs dumping on compositors and FX artists. Learn Maya/Houdini/Nuke (not Blender), and actually work in VFX industry for a few years please and then post a critique.

[@BoundlessEntertainmentFilms]

@@VFXforfilm If you actually watched my video you would realize my critique is on the filmmakers and studios producing the films. So your comments here are quite pointless...in fact my videos are defending the work of artists because it's not their fault the results are poor. But it's obvious you just wanted to come after me, so that's fine, hope it made you feel better :)

[@VFXforfilm]

@@BoundlessEntertainmentFilms You know what we need? Filmmakers (more abundant then water) to get off their butts and press pen to paper and write a good script. Pardon my frustrations, but I just get tired with the constant complaining about this "CG Sucks" thing while everyone tries the easy way out with virtual production or unreal engine and thinks that (along with a gimbal) will make a great story.

[@ChristopherCopeland]

@@BoundlessEntertainmentFilms I'm a filmmaker and not only do I think a lot of VFX suck in modern blockbusters, I also think most modern blockbusters suck because of the filmmaking and writing much more than the VFX. I think most FILM sucks. I think most of what I make SUCKS. Haha. But don't take this person's insults personally as he seems to take criticism of his industry very personally. He has some fair points, but aiming it at you is just wild haha. I wanted to respond to him, but I don't want to become a combatant to him. Thanks for the tutorial, I will be checking out more about this in the future.

I also have a video on moving your camera from After Effects to Unreal using Blender: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGSbgGBvgLmkrpY You can also 3D track your footage in Blender to start, which may even be easier. But if you have After Effects, you also have Cinema 4D Lite, which I'm using in this video. Thanks for watching!
