There are movies in my game.  
How can I pack movies in \* .pak files for shipping build?

Hi friend, i was having the same problem for some time and this is the solution I found:

Go to the “Project Settings”  
Add the directory path of your movies folder on “Additional Non-Asset Directory to Package”

Check the option “Exclude movie files when staging”.

Now, all the movies will be on the pak file. I suggest you test a little to see if you added all of them and if they are working correctly, but for me all them worked with no problems.

A huge thanks to “bhn\_nirab” who posted this solution on Reddit ^^
