Certain Actors from Sequencer do not appear in the final render + color question

[Akn_Dude]

Hi everyone,

First of all let me say that I have tried the given suggestion from this post (with the collision):

Actors are not showing up in render of recorded sequence

When I render my recorded sequence, the actors do not show. They are clearly there when I am working in the engine. I tried converting the recorded actor to a possesable but it is still not showing in the render. I have selected to show the actor in the recording. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

But the main problem is that not only the blueprint but also a skeletal mesh are not appearing in the final render (as seen below):

(the project is in 5.4.3)

Bonus: The rendered image seems to have a little less contrast, can anyone help me with an answer to that as well? (for this quick test I used .jpg)

If you have some features that look fine in the viewport, but they disappear or act weird when you hit play, or render with MRQ, then those actors might be on a sublevel that is set to the level blueprint streaming method.

You can check if you go to Window > Levels. See if Persistent level has any sublevels under it. If any have a blue dot next to the name, they are set to Level Blueprint Streaming. You can right click the level name in that menu, go to “Change Streaming Method” and set it to “Always Loaded”.

This is one possible reason this can happen.

@EvanHammel - thank you for your input, unfortunately this does not seem to be the issue, I do not have any sublevels

And to clarify it, in the viewport it is fine (all, selected, new, standalone), just when I render a BP actor and a skeletal mesh are not there

Do those actors have “Hidden in Game” on them turned on? I’m not really sure what else could be causing this unfortunately. Try scrolling through the details on those missing Actors and look for attributes that have been edited (there will be a little u-turn arrow to the right of them). Compare them with ones that are visible in the render and see if you can spot any differences.

@EvanHammel - I checked all attributes of the actors that appeared in the render and those that were not and they were identical, BUT this actual lead me to consider the logic that I have done so far in the level blueprint and once I disconnected EventBeginPlay, the actors appeared again, so I guess the logic for OnActorBeginOverlap (which would toggle the actor hidden in the game attribute) would affect the visibility in the render; anyway I’m glad I found the root cause and thank you for your support
