How to recover missing actors in seuqnece?

[mongerofcheese]

I’m new to UE and have been playing around with the cinematic sequencer.

I made a sequencer with a camera, a Niagra effect, chaos fracture, and some meshes. While making it, UE crashed couple of times and I had to reboot it, but each time I did the sequencer was fine and had all the actors in it including the camera.

I decided to take a break and didn’t touch the project for couple of days. Just now as I did so, I realized that almost all the actors in the sequencer are missing. On top of that the camera is missing from the level entirely.

Is it possible to recover the camera and all the actors from the sequencer somehow?

If the actors in the level all match up by name, you can do Fix Actor References as described here:

Sequence actors are red and unassigned when opened in duplicate level

If I create a sequence and reference several actors within my level, then I duplicate that level and attempt to use the sequence in the duplicate, all my references are red and require reassignment. I know one solution is to make everything spawnable so as not to rely on references in the level, but spawnables are not always ideal. Is there another way to quickly re-assign actors that I’m unaware of? I have hundreds of assignments and manually clicking through them will take a while. Thank you…

Sounds like you might have some actors missing though, like the camera. In that case, just make another camera in the level and call it the same as it is in Sequencer before you run Fix Actor References.

I couldn’t get the camera back for some reason, but I was able to get everything else back with Fix Actor References. I decided to just recreate the camera as best as possible.
Thanks!
