Hi everyone,
I’m having several rendering issues in Unreal Engine 5.8 with the same Level Sequence, and I’m trying to understand whether they are related to Sequencer evaluation, Camera Cut bindings, Post Process settings, or a regression after upgrading.
My setup uses a camera and a MetaHuman inside a Level Sequence.
1. Sequencer Preview looks correct
When I preview the sequence directly inside Sequencer, everything looks as expected:
- Correct camera position
- Correct framing
- MetaHuman lighting/exposure looks correct
- My NIR/Post Process effect looks correct in the viewport
So the sequence itself appears to be set up correctly.
2. Movie Render Queue uses the correct camera, but the MetaHuman becomes extremely bright
When I render the same sequence using Movie Render Queue, the camera position is correct, but the visual result is completely different from Sequencer.
The main problem is that the MetaHuman becomes extremely overexposed / almost completely white.
The environment is still visible, but the MetaHuman face and skin are much brighter than what I see in Sequencer.
So:
Sequencer Preview:
Correct camera + correct MetaHuman appearance
Movie Render Queue:
Correct camera + incorrect/overexposed MetaHuman
This is especially noticeable with my NIR/Post Process setup.
3. Movie Scene Capture (Legacy) has a completely different camera position
If I render the exact same Level Sequence using Movie Scene Capture (Legacy), the lighting is not the main problem anymore.
Instead, Legacy capture seems to render from a completely different camera position.
The result looks like the camera is somewhere else in the level, very close to or inside some geometry.
This happens even though right camera is selected in the Camera C
uts track.
The Camera Cut works correctly when I scrub/play inside Sequencer, but Legacy capture does not appear to respect the same camera transform.
4. Camera Cut thumbnails are also black / incorrect
Another suspicious thing is the Camera Cuts track itself.
The Camera Cut sections are assigned to camera i use, but the thumbnails are almost completely black instead of showing the actual camera view.
The camera itself works when I pilot it or preview it in Sequencer, but the Camera Cut thumbnails do not represent the real view.
This makes me wonder if the Camera Cut binding is somehow not being resolved correctly.
