I’m having a very odd issue that I can seem to find anyone else having a similar problem.
When I package my game the startup movie starts to randomly flicker. If I open the video within the editor, it works fine. I have the video in 4K, but I have tried 1080 and 720 resolutions with the video and even tried using Bink, all have the same issue. I though it may have been a issue with my video card, but I tried playing the packaged game on different computers and they all still have the issue.
I am also getting similar problem. and mine is flickering like hell. I tried 1920x1080 Video in UE5.1
Sadly, I’m still having the issue and haven’t found a solution yet.
Hey there @CapAmerica and @Amine2427! What video codecs are being used for the Startup Movies? Bink usually corrects this issue when I’ve rarely seen it, so that’s a bit of a tough one!
I’ve tried MP4 and Bink 2.
I’ve had the least amount of flickering with the MP4 version.
Are their specific settings I should try?
I was attempting to replicate the issue, but it seems not to be consistent. Does this media example run appropriately?

I my case it is now fixed. Mine issue was occuring because i was using a custom loading screen which occurs every time (even on startup) and causes flicker to the existing playing movies by unreal.
Annyan’s case might be providing solid information here, do you have a custom loading screen or any other forced UI overlapping in your entry map?
Sorry for taking a bit to reply back, I was on a family vacation.
Anyway, I tried the video you attached and I’m still having the issues.
I’m using the Startup Movie option in the project settings for the video. I also have the first map that is loaded blank and just have a splash screen image that is created with a widget, I’m also running some code that load user’s settings (like full screen or window mode) at that time. I did try disabling the widget and it seemed to lessen the flicker a bit, but it was still there.
No worries, hope you enjoyed the vacation! Does this occur in other fresh projects? It could be your load operations causing it, but it’s unlikely.
I put together a fresh project and the issue did not occur.
So, I did some more trouble shooting, deactivating widgets and code with no luck, finally I took a look at the plug-ins that were enabled and started comparing it to the fresh project, and when I disabled ‘Pre-Load Screen Movie Player’ everything started working perfectly. Not sure why this was turned enabled or why it was giving so much trouble.
Thanks for all the help
