hey guys

if for eg in shot001, i have added a new character, badguy01, then is it best to drag and drop the original mesh into my level please or am i ok to alt drag a copy of badguy01 then add track the new actor to sequence? does it matter how you go about this please? i guess not but wanted to double check with people who have used sequencer for some time.
i mainly use UE4 for cinematics and finding out its very powerful but still getting used to it :slight_smile:

many thanks

I don’t like to make identical copies of the same model - waste of disk space and confusing when you search for items. But whatever suits you best is allowed. :slight_smile:

yes it does. Thanks so much for your help. Just wanted to confirm with someone. So thanks again.

Thanks so much for reply. Yeah it’s for a scene where there is about 20 bad guys in a room, sci fi soldier dudes so everyone has same uniform/armor. This is easier for me just to drag and duplicate.
