Triggering movies

[anonymous_user_90275b13]

Hi there,

Is there a step by step anywhere on how to trigger a movie as a short cutscene when the player reaches a particular point within the level?

thanks

do you mean a matinee sequence or an actual video file to play?

im completely new to this I’m unsure as to what a matinee is?

I just need a video file to play for say 20 seconds before the player can continue in the same level.

but it needs to happen when the player reaches a specific point in the level.

If you are looking to play a video file check out the media framework. Media Framework in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation

Using UMG UI system to play the video fullscreen is the easiest way to get started. The mentions how to play videos with UMG.

If you want the video to play at a specific point in the level it is easiest to use a trigger volume that the player walks into which would trigger the movie.
