Hi all.
Can I use UE4 not for creating a game itself but for rendering animations for short movies, advertisment and so on? I don’t ask about technology and way of doing that-but if You have some experience You are more than welcome to share it. I want to ask about licence. I understand that if i want to create game costs are simply like 19 bucks monthly plus 5% of a revenue but what if I want to create Movie/Video/Still picture - publish it in internet (e.g. Youtube (with advertising) / website with google adsense) or just sell it to a client (typical commercial use)?
Do I need to pay this 5% for a movie? If Yes - how to calculate revenue?
thanks a lot!

Well that is unexpected. Really good news. Thanks for the info, !
