This was great! I don't necessarily think this is goodbye for Sequencer. Sequencer is meant for In-Game Cinematics, whereas the Movie Render Queue is more geared towards offline rendering. That said, great tutorial!

[@WilliamFaucher]

You're absolutely right, Sequencer definitely still has its use cases. Even for offline rendering. Sometimes we just need a very quick render for reviews and previz. Sequencer is perfect for that. But when the time comes and we need the best possible results? Movie Render Queue takes the cake. Don't get me wrong I still love Sequencer. Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to write!

Hi William, so glad that I've run into your channel.

There's a tutorial that I've been searching for a while but could not find, I just wonder if you would be interested to do. That is making a stereoscopic movie using render queue. I could not find any tutorial for it. I'm not sure if VR and stereoscopic are any difference, and if no, how to output it as images for a movie or short film. Will appreciate it very much if you could do a tutorial on how to create stereoscopic in Unreal 4.27, to output it as images for production. Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work!

William great public service with these tutorials I'm so appreciating your information! Question?? Me and my associate both have RTX 2070 graphics cards and we're trying to render a simple desert environment with a raytrace car. Both our machines crash when hitting render in the movie queue. Is there any optimization settings we need to be made aware of to make this work? Appreciate any guidance you can provide.

[@WilliamFaucher]

Hey Scott! Thanks for the kind words! Ok so for starters, it's always a bit difficult to troubleshoot crashes over youtube comments, but I'll try! First off, what kind of crashes are you getting? Do you get an error message? From experience, most crashes have to do with VRAM. Open the task manager when you start your renders, and keep an eye on the Graphics Memory. What often happens is your resolution is too high, or have some very heavy objects in your scene, or just a TON of textures, and your GPU runs out of memory, and it crashes. A handy trick is to turn on Texture Streaming in your project settings. This at least allows some texture data to be written to disk instead of dumped into the gpu Vram. There could be other reasons, of course, but let's start off with that!

[@PhotoMakers]

It looks like we have the same situation here. Are you using Brushify as well?

[@santhosh8013]

I COMPLETED YOUR SIR, MY RENDER RESULT AMAZING SIR SAME TO SAME YOUR RENDER IMAGE

[@PhotoMakers]

Your knowledge level is insane!! Thanks for sharing with us!! And you master on the way you create appealing content with sharp information. Unfortunatelly I couldn't make render Queue work in my project (UE5). I watched your other movie about vRAM and all other settings to try, but it's still crashing the moment the render window appears. Sequencer, on the other hand, could export it. I'm using RTX 3090. Quite weird. Any help is much appreciated! :)

[@WilliamFaucher]

First off, thank you! And secondly, Oh really? You had issues in UE5 with MRQ? I've been rendering shots with a 2060 Super in UE5, and MRQ with no issues. I hate to sound like the angry IT guy but, could it be a driver issue?

[@PhotoMakers]

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I'm having problems (constant crash) at least with main main project that uses only Brushify. The driver I was using was from 20 days ago. I updated today and still crashing like crazy every single time. Here is the log: Assertion failed: NumBytes % NumArrays == 0 [File:D:/build/++UE5/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/RenderCore/Private/UnifiedBuffer.cpp] [Line: 454] UnrealEditor_RenderCore UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Renderer UnrealEditor_Core UnrealEditor_Core UnrealEditor_Core UnrealEditor_RenderCore UnrealEditor_RenderCore UnrealEditor_Core UnrealEditor_Core kernel32 ntdll I'm almost hopeless! :) On the other hand, I did a test with the Park Scene and there the Render Queue worked fine. Quite weird!

I've just replicated the problem. I created a new project with First Person Template. Installed Brushify. Created a terrain. Created a Cine Camera. Basic Sequence with camera animation. Render Queue also crashed when started rendering! :/

[@cwidd1929]

Really a great tutorial, thank you! 🙏 It seems that the AA sub-sampling technique shown here requires that motion blur is activate in the scene (motion blur amount >0). For rendering still images using the Movie Render Queue - if motion blur is off (motion blur amount = 0.0) - then the recommendation is to set the AA *spatial sample* count to 64 instead(?)

[@WilliamFaucher]

It still works even if you have motion blur amount set to zero, you'll just get a message yelling at you. I've been using temporal AA samples with motion blur disabled in production and it worked fine! But depending on your needs, Spatial samples may be better!

[@hmichel3279]

Important for anyone who might be getting ghost frames instead of motion blur, make sure you uncheck 'lock to display rate at runtime' under the fps dropdown within sequencer. Completely fixed it for me

[@WilliamFaucher]

Wait what?? Ive never even heard of that setting before. May I ask what you mean by ghost frames?

@@WilliamFaucher instead of creating motion blur, it renders appears to render both frames, one at 50% on top of the other, as if creating a double exposure image of two neighbouring frame. Very weird but the above setting solved it

[@raulgomez8523]

Hi, amazing your channel and your work sharing your knowledge, thank you very much. I have a question. If I want to render an image not a video, and I want it with 64 samples, for example, would I have to put the 64 samples, in Spatial Sample Count or Temporal Sample Count? I'm just starting with unreal and I'm not really sure. In the official documentation, I think I remember that I read, that for this kind of renders, the Temporal should be set to 1 and the Spatial, with the desired number of samples, but I see videos of other people and some of yours, that do it the other way around. From what I understand, the temporal samples are for when there is motion blur in the scene. In my image there is no blur at all, maybe some depth of field. So from what I understand, I wouldn't have to upload the temporal samples. Is this so, am I right? By the way, I want to use it with Path Tracer. Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards.

[@curvingorbit8262]

On a different topic: For comparison, I rendered a 30 sec sequence as pngs in MRQ, then output these from After Effects as a ProRes 422 HQ movie. I then output the same sequence as a ProRes movie directly from MRQ. I can’t see any difference between the two. This not only saved me time in After Effects, but it took MRQ half the time to render the movie than it took to render the pngs. This probably doesn't suit your own workflow, but I hope others may find it useful.

[@WilliamFaucher]

For what it's worth, PNG is a terrible image format, it's painfully slow to save those. Even in photoshop, saving a PNG takes way longer than jpeg for example. The best image format to be rendering in is .EXR because it is multilayered, 16- 32-bit, uncompressed. And should be faster than PNG as well! Thanks for comparing and letting us know!

[@F4lcooon]

[@jaysoncabuhat39]

Hi William, thanks for making this videos. do you know the reason why my renders have rectangular black artifacts on them when I use Anti_aliasing on the MRQ? once I turn off the Anti-aliasing, the rectangular black boxes are gone. I already tried the forum suggestions of increasing samples, but it's still there. I don't want to turn off the bloom because I need it and some people got the same black artifacts even though they turn off the bloom. Thanks in advance and please continue making more videos.

[@xiaogai4496]

Very helpful ~ thank you~

[@jbach]

Really useful info! Thanks for sharing. I thought Movie Render Queue was only useful for render passes and when you needed alpha channels. You've converted me. Would 16bit .exr's potentially give better results if you anticipate doing any further color correction after rendering? Also what about the 'High Resolution' setting. When would you use that? I noticed that by increasing the OverlapRatio under High Resolution to .1 you can reduce the artifacts that appear when rendering particle effects with alpha.

[@WilliamFaucher]

Happy to help! And thank YOU for watching! :)

[@WilliamFaucher]

Oh I just saw your edit just now! Yeah this is a great new way to work, and I like the streamlined UI way better than the Sequencer. Personally, for my own usage, I rarely work with EXR's since I tend to do my colorgrading directly in the engine. I like the what you see is what you get approach. But that's just for my own personal use. In production it is definitely useful to render 16-bit EXR for more control, especially if you have color-science savvy compositors working with you. As for the high resolution setting, I don't see myself using it because I never really needed such crazy resolutions, 4k has been more than enough for my own needs. BUT, in the event you have a client who needs 8k or even 16k renders.... well then the high resolution tiling will be your best friend here, since you won't need to fry your graphics card trying to render 16k video :) Thanks for the tip about Overlap Ratio! I'll keep that in mind! Hope this answered some of your questions! Have a great day :)

[@philippzakrzewski8180]

Hi William, thanks again for all your amazing insight. Now, I've got a question that is pretty related to the Movie Render Queue, but it involves animated Blueprints. Essentially, I've created some kind of animatable rig inside the Construction Script part of Blueprints and then exposed a variable that can be animated inside Sequencer, which essentially drives the whole Blueprint animation. All works glorious inside the editor, HOWEVER, once I render this animation via the Movie Render Queue, the Blueprint animation is frozen. Everything else works normal, but for some reason the Blueprint animations don't want to render. I was hoping you might have come across this - admittedly specific - problem before and would know how to fix it (as part of your MRQ Quirks series ;-)). Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

[@WilliamFaucher]

I’m not a blueprint expert but I think you need to add a beginPlay node, something to trigger the start the blueprint

[@philippzakrzewski8180]

@@WilliamFaucher Thanks for your reply. It really helped me look in the right direction to fix my problems. I finally (FINALLY) managed to wrap my head around calling Blueprint Events in Sequencer. First of all, you are correct, you need to do this in the Event Graph (as the Construction Script will only be called once at the beginning, so it's no good for 'firing' animations all over the timeline). Then you need to create an Event Track in Sequencer, where you can 'bind' the events you've created to indidual 'event keyframes'. However, despite following a dozen tutorials on the topic, I still didn't get this to work. My events either wouldn't fire or get stuck in random weird states. I was pulling my hair out, until about ten minutes ago. The trick is, that - in order to see your events firing in the editor - you have to hit the 'Play' button. Otherwise, you won't see anything or the strange behaviour I mentioned above that makes it look like your events are broken. Once you're 'playing' the level though everything works as expected. What a simple solution!? Yet none of the tutorials explicitly mentioned that. I was under the assumption that using the Sequencer was the 'non linear equivalent' to pressing the Play button and that using either of them was mutually exclusive. It goes without saying that I was wrong... Now, in order to render this out in a way that mirrors what you saw during 'play mode', you have to tick the 'Run Construction Script in Sequencer' option in the Blueprint Class Settings. Then your render should match what you saw before while 'simulating' in the editor. It goes without saying that this took far too long for something so simple. So just in case you've got a gap in your tutorial schedule, it'd be amazing, if you could dive into Blueprint-driven animation. This is such an incredibly useful area of UE for all kinds of things VFX, from sliding doors to bullet hits to whoknowswhat. OK, rant over :-D

[@ibrahimmachmouchi8357]

Super thanks for the tutorial, might I ask, if you can make a video for pathtracing with appleprores movie render queue? This would be really helpfull for me.

[@curvingorbit8262]

Thanks so very much! So helpful! I have two follow-up questions. First, console variables - in addition to the four lines you recommend in your tutorial, the official documentation says: "You may also want to consider disabling the following Denoisers entirely if you have a high enough sample count (64+):" and gives four more lines. As you're recommending a sample count of 64, would you also recommend adding the extra lines? Second, I came across the advice to turn off "Cast Ray Tracing Shadows" for all lights when using MRQ. Do you have any thoughts about that? Thanks again!

[@WilliamFaucher]

There really isn't a right or wrong answer here, i usually render with 32 samples now and it's more than enough. If you need more samples, then go ahead. But this is just a rough rule of thumb. It depends on your shot. As for disabling Cast Raytraced Shadows... uh no, I never disable that because raytraced shadows look amazing. Where did you see this advice?
