Startup movie volume - how to control?

[Zhi_Kang_Shao]

We use UE’s startup movie feature to play the UE4 logo and our company logo. Does anyone know how to control the volume of those movies from C++ (or any other way)?

I found the question a few times on AnswerHub, but so far unanswered:

Matt Kuhlenschmidt replied to a similar question on UDN (Mar 31 2015):

There is not currently a way to adjust volume right now. The major reason we cant use the master volume class is that it would depend on engine and startup movies need to start before the engine module is loaded. As a result startup movies cannot reference anything in engine. We can add a way to adjust volume independently though.

Unless something’s changed since then, it doesn’t appear that there’s a way to do this.

Yea, the way it works right now is that they run before almost anything else.

Best bet IMO, would be to just re-export the movies at the desired volume level.

I gave up on this thread! Thanks for the replies. I still haven’t found a way to do this. We will now reduce the video’s source volume as you propose @TheJamsh.

I haven’t looked into it very much, but it’s possible we have a few new options for this since the media framework had quite a major update recently. Reducing the source volume seems like the path of least resistance though
