Facing same issue regarding Water body rendering through Movie render que ,after updating the project to UE 5.4.1 from previous version. It was rendering fine before.
BTW it is rendering with old movie capture.

Thanks for responding, it is really weird, ill try the old movie capture I guess, I had to redownload 5.3 and open an old version of the project, so I’m really hoping this will work, let me know if you solve this and ill do the same

WaterBodyOcean Unreal 5.4 and Movie Render Queue

Dear Shaun, Thank you very much for the help. I am not sure whether it was the console command or updating Unreal 5.4 with the new hotfix, but the water rendering works now! Kind regards. UPDATE: It was the command that fixed it; by default the water is still missing, so if anyone has trouble, make sure to add r.water.waterinfo.rendermethod 2 to your render commands. [image]

apparently its a known issue and they are going to try and fix it for the new hotfix, or there is a console command that you can run with it that makes it work
