Matinee movie freezes on start

Upon starting the Matinee movie it freezes and is unresponsive and doesn’t record anything. It worked for me in 4.9 so I think it is a bug.

Hi VoidGoat -

Can you as specific as possible to what you mean by starting the Matinee movie? Are you referring to the Matinee Fight Sequence? Is this your developed Matinee scene, does this occur in a Blank or template Project as well?

Thank You

I’ve just discovered the same issue. (I believe)
Using Matinee’s “Render Movie Settings” with the Capture Type set to “AVI” at 640x480 (4:3) it goes into capture mode and looks like it works. However when you try to open the video file it appears to have no frames and shows only black.
I can still capture a JPG Sequence fine without any issues.

Hello -

It looks like this is a regression and I have entered a report as UE-23651. In the meantime, I have found if your change the default Output Folder to a smaller folder path name then your matinee should render as expected.

Thank You
