Hi, Did you figure it out how to record video in game? That would be nice if you can share the solution.

I’m trying too.

Sequencer uses UMovieSceneCapture class. I got it working somewhat for me, but don’t expect fluid gameplay while it is running. The exported movies are huge (MJPEG Encoder).

I record a track for the camera to drive along and on record the player is dismissed from gameplay till record is done.

How you would get it in game right after is another issue.

How do you code? By exposed function of Unreal? write it by use UMovieSceneCapture class’s function yourself ?

10

been using UMovieSceneCapture from C++ directly. No derived version. However it does not work out for us, to many problems, especially the encoder. We try to work with FFmpeg right now.

I just want to export video at runtime, can you share a little code for me? Tankyou

I found that sequence is inherited form UMovieSceneCapture , would i create a class that is inherited UMovieSceneCapture to do what i want to do?

13

The problem is the “just”. I would assume unreal provides something out of the box, but that is not the case
Use the class directly.

UMovieSceneCapture* movieCapture = NewObject();

TSharedPtr viewport = MakeShareable(world->GetGameViewport()->GameViewport , ?);
MovieSceneCapture->Initialize(viewport);

First Link.

TSharedPtr viewport = MakeShareable(world->GetGameViewport()->GameViewport , CustomDeleterClass());

Sorry, I still don’t understand it . Should I write a custom class ? But the function’s parameter type need to match . Which class should be inherited by this custom class?
please help me ,my project always crash. thanks.

class FDeleterNot
{
public:
void operator()(void*) {}
};

TSharedPtr viewport = MakeShareable(world->GetGameViewport()->GameViewport , FDeleterNot());
