DCS_CineMultiCtrl – Multi-Actor Animation Control for Sequencer

Hello everyone,

I’ve released a new Blueprint-based Unreal Engine tool called DCS_CineMultiCtrl.

It is a Blueprint-based asset designed to speed up cinematic workflow by letting you control and randomize animation playback across multiple actors directly in Sequencer.

The goal is simple: make it much faster to set up background characters or groups of actors without managing each actor manually one by one.

What it does

  • Controls multiple actors from a single setup
  • Randomizes assigned animations across actors
  • Speeds up iteration for cinematic scenes
  • Works directly with Sequencer
  • Keeps the workflow simple and practical

Best use cases

  • Background characters in cinematics
  • Faster setup for repeated animation variation
  • Multi-actor scene control in Sequencer
  • Lightweight cinematic production workflows

Included

  • Blueprint-based controller system
  • Demo setup
  • Example level
  • Quick start documentation

Engine version

  • Unreal Engine 5.3+

Feedback is welcome:

  • Would this be useful in your cinematic workflow?
  • What would you want to see in a future update?
  • Would you prefer a minimal version or a more advanced version later?

A quick update for everyone using DCS CineMulti Controller v1.1

The PRO version is currently in the final preparation stage and will be released soon on Fab.

DCS Cine Multi Controller PRO expands the system with more advanced animation control, improved randomization, animation pools, Sequencer integration, runtime controls, and additional workflow options for larger cinematic setups.

The current v1.1 will remain the Base version, while PRO will be available as a separate, more advanced edition.

More details, documentation, and a full feature overview will be posted closer to release.

Thank you for your support!
