Fade in & out obejct in a video

Hi!

I´m trying to learn how to incorporate an object in a video. How shall I tackle this (new to composure)?

My Image plate is a video where I want a spaceship to move in the background but fade in and out where the front mountain is. NO still images here.

Plz dont´t just send me to Unreal docs its to much at the moment :slight_smile: I have downloaded the example but the need more basic guidelines.

Have a Look at the Composer YouTube Video from Epic. I haven’t worked myself with that Part of ue

If I understand you correctly you only have the video and the spaceship in the scene. You will have to create a mask for the background behind the mountains, remove the background from the first layer of video, and then insert the background as a separate media plate. Unless there is no camera movement, this will be a lot of work if you want it done properly, since you will have to recreate the camera movement. Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks! I will try to learn that technique.

I found an interesting web site with “Rendering Object Outlines”.

If i create a static mesh, see yellow rectangle, and make it non renderable and use Custom Depth. Do you think this could be done?

The static mesh has to move with the video as well.

Placing two meshes at each side and using them to occlude the spaceship could work, yes. Just make the spaceship material transparent once it is behind the transparent meshes. Let me know how if this works out. :slight_smile:

I might have found a solution. Will get back in a week or two.
