Improve Your Renders With Movie Render Queue PART 2 - FIVE Things You Need To Know (Unreal 4.26)

[@ferlaur113]

I love your teaching. Thank you so much William! I have a tip: sometimes I need to go fast on delivery and instead of going by Movie Render Queue/ Subsampling (let say 8)/ .Exr and wait 3 hours, I go by the sequencer old export but use UHD (3.840 x 2.160) in .png, then in Premiere I downscale my sequence to 1.080p. So *almost* all artifacts are disappearing by magic! It saved me a lot of time for really great renders! But it's good to know this new tool for even bigger sizes (6K or 8K)... Thank you again for your time!

[@WilliamFaucher]

Hey! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Yeah regular sequencer renders work great if you need something fast! Rendering in 2x rez and downscaling is a great solution that we use often :) Thanks for writing!

[@kalubandali2241]

its better and faster to render in png? i am new to this. I am assuming rendering a movie file would take ages?

[@lostmonkvfx]

i am new in this UE and I am learning so many big and small things from your channel, Thank you soo much William.

[@kyanhudson6831]

I spent 6 hours individually rendering and changing the directory for 64 shots and then I had to go and re render them all… I then remembered movie render queue. In only 2 hours I them all up with their directories and re rendered them. I love this tool. Came back here to fine tune its settings, thanks again.

[@arehman7151]

Well explained, you need to think of starting a Sequencer tutorial in-depth. Thank you.

[@exhorts]

Hi William, Great video! I just want to let you know that the render queue actually have world depth, pworld, Motion vector, ambient occlusion and if you like you can even create other passes as well. I tested and they are great, you set that clicking on the Deferred Render tab under Deferred Render Data and Add new Post process Material. This Materials are the way you can have new passes. I hope it can help you! :)

I just started learning unreal engine to render my animations in real time. You have Awesome tutorial. Can you make tutorial about best render settings in newer versions UE 5.3? Best settings for lumen...

[@frckfrckfrck]

Thank you very much for this tutorial! I have an interior scene with a lot of sharp edges (walls, furniture etc), and at times super slow moving camera. I am struggling with getting the motion appear totally smooth: whatever I do there seems to be some jaggedness in the sharp edge contours of the interior elements when the camera is panning across the scene. This I suppose is clearly an anti-aliasing issue: Is the key simply to add more spatial and temporal samples and try to find a sweet spot between the two?

Awesome video! Cant use it since my render queue bugged but cant wait to use it in the future :D

[@WilliamFaucher]

Thanks! What happened if I may ask?

[@sharp5112]

@@WilliamFaucher Ever since 4.26 release me and my friends havent been able to render anything like we used to. It will crash 95% of the time even on projects I rendered in 4.25 with the same settings. It worked amazing in 4.25 for me but 4.26 stinks rn for me. Im just gonna wait for like an update or just switch workflows.

[@WilliamFaucher]

@@sharp5112 That's odd? I haven't had any issues on my end at all. If anything 4.26 has been more stable in terms of rendering. What kind of crashes do you get? Do you get any kind of error message? The only issue I've had with 4.26 is sudden drops in framerate from 60+ to 4-5fps for no apparent reason, and then it kicks back to 60+ again after a minute or so.

[@sharp5112]

@@WilliamFaucher yeah me and a couple of my friends have all been experiencing the same d3d crash only in 4.26. For me it seems like in 4.26 UE4 is taking up much more ram than it used to so when I do to render I usually instantly crash. I made a forum post as well and some other dude said he had the same issue with 4.26 only. Ive always had drops in editor framerate even in 4.25 after rendering with the same issue dropping to 5-10 frames. I have tried a lot to find the sole cause of this and right now I can only fix it with turning ray tracing off (same with my friends). I am running a 2080 and i7 9700k with 32gb of ram with the project on a m.2 so I see no reason why I should be crashing at such low resolutions (1920x1080) when I could easily push 16k in 4.25 with no issues.

[@WilliamFaucher]

@@sharp5112 So, the low framerate after rendering is an age-old issue with Unreal. It's been there since the introduction of sequencer in 4.10 (I think?). So nothing new there. The D3D crash is most often related to VRAM, not regular RAM. So If I am not mistaken, the 2080 has 8gb of vram. The fact that it worked fine in 4.25 is weird, so it would seem like 4.26 is putting more strain on vram for some reason. Open your task manager when rendering and keep an eye on your vram levels. You'll see the vram of your GPU spiking and if it goes past 8gb, you're likely to crash. Resolution isn't really the problem here. Do you have Virtual Texture Streaming enabled in your 4.26 project? This may help take some load off your vram.

Amazing 2 part video, thank you! Any plans to do a High Quality UE5 Lumen Render video?

@@SuleBandi No point in using bloom or tonemapper cvars, MRQ maxes those out by default. I dont use any cvars for the most part except for screen percentage, or very specific ones for niche situations.

Hahah thank you!

[@BuildBeach]

Thank you again. This channel is an excellent resource and time saver for me (an iClone7/Elements/HitFilm/Author guy learning UE4). Question: So, this might be just a little redundant - but do you have say a filtered out list (or video) of just the best practices settings from A-Z for creating clips for a high quality post cinematic production - that would then be utilized for say an Elements or HitFilm production? Assuming "best" video quality possible through UE4, and render time not being an issue.. My goal is to animate Chapter 1 of my novel in the most realistic light as possible. Totally blown away by this technology. Only wish it had existed in the early 90s when I was schooling for graphic art. Thanks again..

Very informative video, thanks for covering this feature. The lack of 32bit EXR is due to the limitation of the GBuffer output which is 16bit precision. Maybe something that will change with UE5..

Hi William. After finding your KZbin page only 2 months ago.. How an awesome work for your tutorials you have done. Really a great job. Without you, explaining so well about this software, I will be so far behind to know how UE works as it is not a easy Software to understand particularly as I started to learn it only 5 months ago. Your video are so well made and incredibly professional, but I have still a lot to learn and I think your KZbin page will bring me a lot of extra knowledge in the future. In the main time I have a question to ask you.. Is it possible to send 2 links about 2 clip video who are in my Vimeo page. These two clips have been rendered for evaluation only but I have some strange problems with the foliage, grass and shadows to show you. As I didn't find any clue in the internet about these problems.. I can't figure about to fix it, so maybe you will have an idea and a tutorial explaining about the problem I have. Thank you and have a beautiful day.

[@cwidd1929]

Naive question, but Sequencer can output directly to .avi, but Movie Render Queue seems to only support image sequences, .png, .exr, etc.(?)

[@WilliamFaucher]

Not a naïve question at all! That is correct, MRQ is mostly made for rendering out high quality frames, not video. That said, Apple ProRes is a video format, you can give that a try!

[@occupationalhazard]

I had this same question for months. I'm not sure why out of the dozens of "How to Use Movie Render Queue" videos I watched, not a single one of them mentioned this critical step, but I'm glad I finally have an answer. Now to find a way to make frames into a video...

[@xiaolitang320]

Hello, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, which has made me learn a lot.I have a question to ask you, that is, I added Time Dilation in sequence to make some slow motion shots, but I found that using movie render Queue would lose frames, do you know the reason? Thank you very much.

[@wjhamilton1984]

Movie render queue has been really nice for being able to render out multiple sequences. I hadn't heard of it before so thanks for making a video about it! Something I would like to be able to do though (and not sure if this is a sequence thing or a movie render queue thing) is to be able to render sequences for only specific actors. The Unreal Project I'm working in has multiple different assets (a fireplace, an air purifier, and a ceiling fan) and when I go to render, it renders out everything, all my assets and all the lighting for every asset. My solution has been to select every actor I don't want rendered and in the details panel check "actor hidden in game" and then repeat that process for each asset I want to render out. What I would prefer instead is to have a sequence only render out specific actors, but am not sure if that's possible to do. Any idea if it is?

[@WilliamFaucher]

Hmmm, the Stencil Layers might be your best bet here!

[@wjhamilton1984]

@@WilliamFaucher The stencil layer method I think has great potential for this! Thanks for pointing me in that direction. It's working well for the most part but an issue that I'm running into is that actors with translucent materials applied to them are still being rendered out. Otherwise it works perfectly and only renders out whatever actor I added to the layer. Do you know if it's possible to have actors with translucent shaders applied, only render out if they're added to the layer? I've linked a couple of screenshots of what I'm seeing if that helps. drive.google.com/file/d/12-WhY73ptJN89v-djyd6cee3yPrahlMZ/view drive.google.com/file/d/1DwqjHKpS7625FVXTBnvpafcmHQhmlXHl/view

[@fireflyloverokay]

Hey William, great vid! I was wondering if you had any answer as to why my renders have different colors compared to what the viewport shows me my colors are like, its as if my renders are a bit desaturated.

[@WilliamFaucher]

It depends where you're viewing your renders perhaps, and which file format you're using. Are you rendering images sequences? Jpg? EXR? Do you have screen calibration? Some apps don't display screen calibration profiles in image viewers on windows. There are so many factors here. You should be viewing your images in a color-managed program like Photoshop or Davinci Resolve.

[@fireflyloverokay]

​@@WilliamFaucher So I have tried exporting both as JPG and PNG, what I have noticed is: the colors look correct when I put the renders inside artstation and they look almost correct when I put them on after effects. On photoshop and windows photo viewer they look desaturated, unless I click the edit on photo viewer which while on edit mode its the colors its supposed to be. As for screen calibration, I got two screens, one which I havent touched at all in settings and one that has been calibrated. I should also add that this happens only on one of my scenes, i tried it out with another scene of mine and it worked fine. Preview of the render also looks as it should on movie render

Thanks for your videos. MRQ render all meshes with LOD0. This makes the image look better than the sequencer. But if we have a lot of foliage (as foliage tool) in our scene we facing with polygon overflow limit and MRQ dont render that foliage. It forces me to put the foliage on scene as static mesh but not foliage tool. It takes a lot of time but it works. I hope this will be fixed in UE5. Sorry for my english.

[@WilliamFaucher]

I don't think the issue is related to polygon count, MRQ seems to have issues with foliage occasionally. I have not experienced it myself yet, but have seen many who do, including people with A6000, and RTX3090s , the polygon count seems to be irrelevant, it's a foliage tool issue.

… and another question. Why should the render behave differently from the clip as it plays in the sequencer? I have a 90 degree pan across a hillside. It plays back flawlessly in the timeline. But in the MQR render a bunch of rocks disappears then reappears - always at the same point in the pan. I've turned off LODs and culling wherever I can think of it - no change.

[@WilliamFaucher]

Movie Render Queue is more intended for rendering individual frames/image sequences, not a whole video file. The reason for that is the temporal subsampling which doesn't play well with audio. You're better off rendering the image sequences, and syncing the audio in post, like Premiere, Resolve, etc.

Help Please! I render my project following your instruction step by step and in the end I only have 1 frame rendered, I get this message... frame number identifier not found. Files may be overwritten? It's not working for me for some reason! Thanks

[@WilliamFaucher]

I've never seen that error before. Did you set up your sequence properly? Do you have a camera cut track? Are you in the negative frames? (frames before 0000).

[@ShaneDotz]

for highest quality would u recommend exporting in png and stitching together?

[@WilliamFaucher]

Yeah 100%! In film we pretty much never work with video files, we always have frame/image sequences and bring that into an editing package such as Davinci Resolve, Premiere, After Effects, etc

[@meskalation]

Is this limimited to ray tracing cards? Should I use the console variables, when using subsampling with a non raytraced card?

[@WilliamFaucher]

Don’t bother with the console variables if you don’t use raytracing!

[@yonatandor7389]

Thank you very much for the videos ! When I render using sequencer at highest quality it render rather quickly. With Movie Render Queue rendering at the same quality it will take up to 5X to 10X (!!!) times longer. It's pretty hard to work while having to wait 1h for every render with a high spec machine. Any idea / tips about this problem ? Thank you!

[@WilliamFaucher]

Well, yes, that's entirely normal. Sequencer doesn't use any subsampling, and the motion blur won't look NEARLY as good. It will have way more artifacts and will be sub-par quality. Movie Render Queue is intended to deliver better results, and will take longer. That is entirely by design. Only way around is to use fewer subsamples.

[@yonatandor7389]

@@WilliamFaucher Thank you for the reply. Yes, I've been testing for the last few hours and reached the same conclusion. Guess the only way through is those slow but high quality renders. Keep making videos! We learn a lot from you.

[@QuinnKuslich]

Hey William, I followed these settings, but my camera is still way to blurry unless it is up close, when I turned it off I noticed the same issue with the regular sequencer as well, I am super confused as I don't know why this is happening. What made my camera so blurry all of the sudden.

[@WilliamFaucher]

Have you tried adjusting the focus of your camera?

[@QuinnKuslich]

@@WilliamFaucher yes lol, but it’s super drastic on the render. I did find a video about focus debug and my f-stop is super shallow at about 2.8. So I’m gonna try adjusting those and using the camera debug to solve the issue. Great tutorial btw, I’m VR dev by trade but super excited about Virtual Production as well.

@@WilliamFaucher how exactly would I import it into Resolve as a sequence ? When I drag the loose images onto the timeline it will make it 1 sequence but the timing of the frames will be off. There is probably a setting in the MRQ which im overlooking. Thanks for the help man.

NEED HELP. Reaching out because my renders are coming out short when using Movie Render Queue. Even when trying to export each shot separately. When using sequencer the timeline works great. No issues. Really could use some help with this and would be glad to provide more info if needed.

[@WilliamFaucher]

That's odd, are you sure your camera cut track is set correctly? Did you set the custom framerange in the MRQ settings under the Output tab?

Hi Thanks for your tutorials Unreal Engine 4.27 Movie Render Queu I have several cameras in my scene. How can I set perfect transitions in the Movie Render Queu. Can I also set the warm up times for the cameras in the Movie Render Queu. Sorry for my bad English, I am from Germany. Could you maybe make a tutorial about it. Greetings rosuckmedia😀😀

Hi there! Your English is great! Warm up frames are controlled in the "anti aliasing" tab of Movie Render Queue :)

Hey William, you are amazing, I've created a very big environment and when I try to film it using movie render it uses more than 128gb of ram and finally freezes, sequencer is working correctly though but im missing proper ACES and AA, do you know what is happening before it starts rendering?

[@SubbParProductions]

What difference does the changing the console variables have? Does keeping them all at 0 mean it's a floating variable or infinite?

[@WilliamFaucher]

There are hundreds of consolve variables in Unreal, each does a different thing. The variables in this video are what is recommended by Epic for rendering with Subsampling. A value of 0 means off, or disabled. Aka: False. A value of 1 means True, enabled, on. Epic recommends disabling some temporal effects when using Subsampling. Hope this answers your question!

[@SubbParProductions]

​@@WilliamFaucher Thanks for the prompt response. I am trying to wrap my head around a lot of this still. I can't seem to figure out which temporal effects should be disabled when subsampling. I am also confused regarding if the console variables are overriding the project/global settings or are adding another pass on top. I am coming from octane render to UE4 so I am more used to a localized set of render paramters globally. Now I have different raytrace setting for my project/post device/camera and now export setting?....It's a lot to take in but still, the render time is wayyyy quicker so, it's worth it to me. Great vid! I look forward to seeing more!

[@WilliamFaucher]

@@SubbParProductions So the console commands you need are the same ones I am using in Part 1 of this video. You can find them in the Epic Documentation included in the description of that video as well. There's four, I believe. The console commands aren't project-based. They need to be enabled or disabled, up to you. It's not the most intuitive thing, but once you know what you need, it's fine. The raytrace and postprocess settings are in this order of priority from lowest to highest : Post Process Volume > Camera > Export Settings. I believe the reason for the lack of centralisation of settings is because Unreal is first and foremost a games engine, with support for cinematics/rendering kind of slapped on as a bonus feature. Hopefully Unreal Engine 5 addresses this. Thanks for the kind words, and always happy to help!

i have a question please ... when i use the movie render queue, and put it on Png .... i find pictures in the export file ... how to find the video? ... or do I have to compile the photos myself to get a video?

Png is not a video format. It exported an image sequence. Each frame is an image. You need to set it to a video format in your output settings if you want a video!

Yeah I don’t think Movie Render Queue has avi output. If you need video, use Apple Prores, it’s a much better video format than avi, much higher quality. Movie render queue is made for image sequences for use in post processing , with apps like Resolve , premiere, after effects, nuke, etc.

[@WilliamFaucher]

@@itsrabar Ah! Yeah so the first frame always renders something irrelevant for some reason. It's pretty normal, I've never found a way around it. But it has never caused my renders to crash. If your renders are crashing, it doesn't have anything with this first frame. It could be a large number of problems with your levels. Perhaps your GPU is running out of VRAM, maybe you have some effects in your scene that is causing the crash. It is difficult to say exactly what it is that is causing you problems without more info. But to answer your question, the first random frame is normal :) Happens every time!

@@itsrabar In Sequencer when you aliign camera shots in top bar, sometimes it steals frame, like in beginng or when clipping two shots. it renders image from 0,0,0 location. It's really annoying.

@@m1sterv1sual For that you can simply add a "Delay Before Shot Warm Up" in the render movie settings in sequencer. This allows this to calm down a little before rendering the shot. Works for me! :)

[@deastman2]

I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to understand why my camera doesn’t render from the correct position. When I start my render going, it renders from some completely different position and not the one where my cine camera is set to. I notice something similar in your video- when you start the render, it shows a view of a mountain with a blue sky before switching to the correct camera position. In my case, it never switches to the correct view, and instead saves a render of the wrong view. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

[@WilliamFaucher]

It could be you don't have you camera cut track set up correctly! It's a bit unintuitive to be honest but yeah. That should give you a starting point!

[@deastman2]

@@WilliamFaucher Actually I was wrong. The camera is in the correct location. I didn’t realize it because the actual problem is that almost every object in my scene disappears when I render. I’m trying to render a complex environment purchased from the marketplace with hundreds of objects, but only a few of them remain when I render. It renders correctly from the sequencer but not from the queue. A Google search turns up other people with the same problem but few solutions. The only answer I’ve seen is to increase the bounding scale of each object. I’ve tried increasing it all the way from 1.0 up to 1000 with no change.

It is the cloth set by mesh in ue4. The rendering output of the sequencer is no problem, but the output of movie renderer queue has no effect.

[@pechkin9000]

I faced the same problem. Tried to find a way, but without success. Made a physical simulation of clothes directly in UE4, wind on the stage etc. Everything works fine in the sequencer, but in the MRQ - the first frames the clothes move, but then freeze in a strange position. I also want to say that there are some problems with rendering particles. I should to say that in the sequencer I have set the time dilation track. This is important for my project. As for the PC, I have a fairly powerful computer with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x processor and a Nvidia 3090 video card.
