Just starting out making some cinematics and trying to render out to .mp4. Followed the setup using the Command Line CLI, FFmpeg, Movie Render Que. All works fine. But the output .mp4 (or .avi) files have no audio.
I’ve even tried to add a separate ‘Audio’ output file, nothing.
I have multiple audio tracks (SCs and SWs) in my sequence which all work and play fine in editor and in PIE.
Is this a bug or is there some missing configuration step for 5.2.0?
In the MRQ settings, you might want to add Audio as a setting. That will separately Render out sounds for you. Either way, I prefer adding sound later in Post.
I never received a reply anywhere or could debug it. I ended up having to record the audio during in-engine playback using OBS, and import that track into my final video editing programe…
Really poor user experience, I did not see any warnings / errors that could even point to what was causing this behavior.
In the Movie Render Queue, you need to add JPEG, WAV audio, and the Command Line Encoder. In the Command Line Encoder, do not activate or deactivate Delete Source Files .
