How do I get my Matinee sequence to play?

Hi,

I’d like to export na .avi animation in matinee. When I press ‘Create Movie’ button some option dialog appear. I set settings I like and then OK.

And than nothing happens… I mean a new window opens but there is no animation. For sure its not my matinee sequence I made. window stays open, no record file is created.

Have you hooked up matinee through level blueprint? captures are stored in the “…/YourProjectFolder/Saved/VideoCaptures”

Hey ,

As mentions, it sounds like your Matinee isn’t getting triggered. You can do this via Blueprint as noted above, or by selecting your Matinee and enabling Play on Level Load via Details tab.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Thanks for answer. Actually I didn’t have level bluprint set this way. But even now that I set it like that Matinee still doesn’t record camera I want it to use.

Are you using a Director Group?

If you post a picture of your Matinee, maybe we can see what you’re missing.

Have you set up a director track? director track controls which camera is active and player is looking through. director track can be added in matinee by creating a director group (this should create director track automatically). Set a keyframe and choose camera group you want to use.

looks like beat me to it… I guess he is not really on a … sorry couldn’t resist :slight_smile:
