00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:24.800
Hello

5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.999
I am Tak Kwangwook, and I will be teaching the Unreal Graphics course

6
00:00:28.999 --> 00:00:31.840
In movies, we don't just film the background with the camera

7
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:34.460
We also capture the actors' performances

8
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.960
In this session, we will learn how to use skeletal mesh assets

9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.240
and animation sequences

10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.320
and explore how to work with these assets in the Sequencer

11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:48.683
which we've learned about earlier

12
00:00:48.683 --> 00:00:52.443
Skeletal Mesh and Asset Setup

13
00:00:53.279 --> 00:00:57.560
In the second shot, we will introduce the character

14
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.660
The character will appear in the tunnel

15
00:00:59.660 --> 00:01:01.119
move forward

16
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:02.833
and create animation

17
00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:08.099
I'm going to show that in this second shot

18
00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:11.300
To do this, we need character data

19
00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:12.739
There is a website called Mixamo

20
00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:17.320
which provides free character data

21
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:24.080
Mixamo is a character modeling site offered by Adobe

22
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:26.220
It provides both character models

23
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:29.220
and animation files

24
00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:32.320
including character animation movements

25
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:35.559
Since both modes are available for free

26
00:01:35.559 --> 00:01:39.720
it is commonly used in development

27
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:42.079
First, log in to the site

28
00:01:42.839 --> 00:01:44.260
and go to the character section

29
00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:46.879
Click on "Characters" at the top

30
00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:49.079
and then you can choose

31
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.600
the characters you want to download

32
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:53.701
I will select

33
00:01:53.701 --> 00:01:59.659
the character Vampire A Lusth

34
00:01:59.659 --> 00:02:02.639
A preview of the character will appear on the right

35
00:02:02.639 --> 00:02:04.580
Like this

36
00:02:04.580 --> 00:02:08.000
At this point, click Download at the top right

37
00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:12.840
After checking the information, click Download

38
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.041
again for the file

39
00:02:14.041 --> 00:02:18.520
Next, click the Animations tab at the top

40
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:22.720
to select the animation files that the character can perform

41
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:25.779
Here, we will download two animations

42
00:02:25.779 --> 00:02:33.000
First, let's search for crouched walking

43
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.860
You'll find an animation called Crouched Walking

44
00:02:35.860 --> 00:02:38.480
There's this action

45
00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:40.440
Let's click on this one

46
00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:43.619
When you click the second animation

47
00:02:44.399 --> 00:02:50.619
it will be applied directly to the model we selected and acts

48
00:02:51.399 --> 00:02:53.340
By clicking

49
00:02:53.341 --> 00:02:55.927
In Place at the bottom

50
00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:00.299
you can preview the animation without moving the character

51
00:03:00.299 --> 00:03:02.619
allowing you to see the action while staying in place

52
00:03:02.619 --> 00:03:04.479
Let's download this animation

53
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.539
Click Download at the top right

54
00:03:07.179 --> 00:03:09.559
You'll see several options

55
00:03:09.559 --> 00:03:11.759
and one of them is Skin

56
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:13.619
If it says With Skin

57
00:03:13.899 --> 00:03:16.899
the model data you're viewing is included

58
00:03:16.899 --> 00:03:19.020
Since we've already downloaded the model data earlier

59
00:03:19.119 --> 00:03:22.520
we don't need it again

60
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.020
We only need

61
00:03:24.287 --> 00:03:26.687
the animation data

62
00:03:26.687 --> 00:03:31.300
so change it from With Skin to Without Skin, then download it

63
00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:32.919
Similarly

64
00:03:33.585 --> 00:03:36.125
let's download another animation

65
00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:40.119
Search for Roar

66
00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:41.759
and you'll find

67
00:03:43.173 --> 00:03:44.953
an animation where

68
00:03:44.953 --> 00:03:47.020
the character yells or shouts

69
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:48.520
Click on Roar

70
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:53.419
This action

71
00:03:54.739 --> 00:03:56.319
Let's download it

72
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.500
Click Download, select Without Skin, and then download

73
00:04:00.600 --> 00:04:02.320
Our plan is as follows

74
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.399
When the character comes out from the front

75
00:04:04.399 --> 00:04:07.960
it will walk using the Crouched Walking animation

76
00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:09.919
Once it reaches the front

77
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:15.419
we will trigger the Roar animation for the character to perform

78
00:04:15.419 --> 00:04:20.140
You can download all the files from Mixamo

79
00:04:20.140 --> 00:04:23.079
but they have also been uploaded to the Cafe

80
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.920
We operate a cafe called Insaeng Unreal Textbook Cafe

81
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.520
You can find it in this cafe

82
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.379
In here

83
00:04:31.945 --> 00:04:34.885
under the Insaeng Unreal Textbook section

84
00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:37.299
Click on the Materials Room on the left

85
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.304
to see something like Insaeng Unreal 5 Textbook Chapter 4

86
00:04:41.304 --> 00:04:44.564
Sequencer Example Files

87
00:04:44.739 --> 00:04:46.640
In this post

88
00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:49.459
you'll find the three files we downloaded from Mixamo

89
00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:54.060
compressed, and uploaded

90
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.520
You can download the files here

91
00:04:56.521 --> 00:05:00.111
extract them, and use them

92
00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:05.839
In this cafe, there is also a post in the materials room

93
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.140
that includes the GitHub link for Infinity Blade

94
00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:13.839
You can find the GitHub link there

95
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.000
and refer to the instructions on how to use GitHub

96
00:05:18.380 --> 00:05:19.760
Once you've downloaded the files

97
00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:22.279
you'll find the Vampire A Lusth_fbx file

98
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.920
the modeling file

99
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.679
and the Roar and Crouched Walking animations

100
00:05:28.679 --> 00:05:31.820
These three files will be imported into Unreal Engine

101
00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:34.360
First, we'll import

102
00:05:34.361 --> 00:05:36.192
the character modeling data

103
00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:37.900
In the Content Browser

104
00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:40.819
create a new folder in the content directory

105
00:05:41.640 --> 00:05:43.239
and name it MyCharacter

106
00:05:43.239 --> 00:05:45.079
It may overlap with other folders

107
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:45.560
Right

108
00:05:45.561 --> 00:05:46.540
With Characters

109
00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:48.579
So, let's use MyCharacter as the folder name

110
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.720
and import the modeling data here

111
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:52.640
Modeling Data

112
00:05:52.640 --> 00:05:56.480
Drag and drop the Vampire A Lusth

113
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.180
When doing so

114
00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:01.679
You can confirm information about this mesh

115
00:06:01.679 --> 00:06:02.880
The important thing here is

116
00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:06.559
to check if Skeletal Mesh is checked

117
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.439
It's essential that Skeletal Mesh is checked

118
00:06:11.359 --> 00:06:14.259
Character modeling data needs to be able to move

119
00:06:14.679 --> 00:06:19.799
and most moving data includes a skeleton

120
00:06:19.799 --> 00:06:22.239
This is why it’s called

121
00:06:22.239 --> 00:06:26.140
Skeletal Mesh in Unreal

122
00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:29.399
If the model doesn’t have a skeleton

123
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.239
it’s called a Static Mesh in Unreal

124
00:06:33.799 --> 00:06:37.040
So, Unreal Engine distinguishes between two types of meshes

125
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:38.819
Static Mesh and Skeletal Mesh

126
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.239
In this case, Unreal Engine recognizes that

127
00:06:44.239 --> 00:06:46.440
it's a Skeletal Mesh with a skeleton

128
00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:49.760
and lists all the associated information for it

129
00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:53.279
Once everything looks good

130
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.799
go ahead and click Import All

131
00:06:54.799 --> 00:06:56.200
After that

132
00:06:56.200 --> 00:07:00.459
you'll see that many assets have been imported

133
00:07:00.799 --> 00:07:04.839
This shows you how many files are involved in making up a character

134
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.580
Among them, you'll see Skeletal Mesh

135
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.800
which refers to the mesh data itself

136
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:11.480
Let's double-click

137
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.020
This will bring up a window

138
00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:17.140
where you can see the Skeletal Mesh

139
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.200
In this window, you can view the mesh data

140
00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:24.519
On the right, you can see the skeleton

141
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.440
which comprises hierarchical bones

142
00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:31.200
Below is information about the Material

143
00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:35.119
and other options

144
00:07:35.239 --> 00:07:37.279
you can choose from

145
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.440
This is the Skeletal Mesh

146
00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:41.880
Next, there are options like Physics Animation

147
00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:45.079
and Skeleton

148
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.679
In fact, these assets

149
00:07:47.679 --> 00:07:51.519
are also available as buttons at the top-right of the mesh window

150
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:52.260
The same

151
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.420
Clicking these buttons

152
00:07:54.880 --> 00:07:58.839
is the same as double-clicking the Physics Asset file to open it

153
00:07:58.839 --> 00:07:59.959
When you click it

154
00:08:01.359 --> 00:08:02.559
Like this

155
00:08:02.559 --> 00:08:03.659
Physics Asset

156
00:08:03.659 --> 00:08:07.880
When you click it, a window will appear where you can configure the physics collision settings

157
00:08:08.200 --> 00:08:10.240
You'll see the boundaries being created

158
00:08:10.640 --> 00:08:14.839
Also, if you click Skeleton on the far left

159
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.679
you'll manage the Skeleton itself

160
00:08:16.679 --> 00:08:22.340
This is where you can handle the bone data for the character

161
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.119
So, the second asset is the Mesh Data

162
00:08:25.119 --> 00:08:28.640
where you can configure things like

163
00:08:28.640 --> 00:08:30.640
materials and mesh-related settings

164
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.399
On the other hand, the Skeleton Editor window

165
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.080
is specifically for managing just the skeleton

166
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.960
Likewise, the third asset is the Skeleton file

167
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.880
opening this asset

168
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:45.719
is the same

169
00:08:45.719 --> 00:08:49.259
The remaining assets are all Textures and Materials

170
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.039
These textures are combined to create the materials

171
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.359
This character uses two materials

172
00:08:58.359 --> 00:08:59.919
 one opaque

173
00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:02.159
and one transparent

174
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:03.760
Two materials were created

175
00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:07.159
As a result, you end up with a lot of files

176
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.799
All of these files are

177
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.960
the assets that make up this character

178
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.599
So far, we've only imported the Skeletal Mesh data

179
00:09:17.599 --> 00:09:19.919
but we also imported the animation data

180
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:21.580
Now, let's drag and drop

181
00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:26.900
Drag and drop the Crouched Walking

182
00:09:27.520 --> 00:09:31.159
Scroll down

183
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.280
and check the details

184
00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:34.840
but you likely won't need to modify anything

185
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.920
Once you click Import All

186
00:09:36.921 --> 00:09:37.961
you'll see that

187
00:09:37.961 --> 00:09:41.559
Crouched Walking has been imported successfully

188
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:42.640
Double-click on it

189
00:09:42.641 --> 00:09:45.436
to see that this is an Animation Data asset

190
00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:47.679
It only contains the movement data

191
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.640
When you open it, you'll see the character mesh

192
00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:57.679
in the middle, and the animation will play

193
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.679
showing the character's movement

194
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.440
This matches exactly with the animation we saw on the Mixamo site

195
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.960
where the character performs the same movement

196
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.159
You can adjust the details related to the animation

197
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.580
and see how it moves along the timeline

198
00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:14.960
in the animation editor

199
00:10:15.520 --> 00:10:17.679
Similarly, there was another animation

200
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:26.440
I'll drag and drop the Roar and bring to Import All

201
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:31.880
Once you do that, you'll see

202
00:10:31.880 --> 00:10:33.840
another animation added in the bottom-right corner of the animation editor

203
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:38.639
Double-click on it, and you can view the Roar animation

204
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.760
You'll see that it's playing well

205
00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:41.880
Roaring

206
00:10:42.400 --> 00:10:46.539
Now, we have two animations assigned to the character

207
00:10:47.359 --> 00:10:49.429
and we can use them to set up the second scene

208
00:10:49.429 --> 00:10:53.089
Sequencer Character Animation Direction

209
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:54.540
Let's go back

210
00:10:55.158 --> 00:10:56.478
to the Sequencer Panel

211
00:10:56.478 --> 00:10:57.640
and double-click

212
00:10:57.640 --> 00:11:01.639
on the second scene to open it

213
00:11:02.119 --> 00:11:05.639
Check the path to make sure you're in the correct second scene

214
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.679
As you can see, the camera is currently set to the left viewport

215
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.719
but the marker is missing, so it's hidden

216
00:11:13.719 --> 00:11:17.220
Place the marker at the first frame

217
00:11:17.520 --> 00:11:19.719
and adjust it again

218
00:11:19.719 --> 00:11:23.919
This time, it will be CineCameraActor 5

219
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.200
Let's leave the camera as it is now

220
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.299
and focus on the character first

221
00:11:28.599 --> 00:11:31.479
First, we need to bring the character to the level

222
00:11:31.479 --> 00:11:33.479
I'll bring it in this Level

223
00:11:33.479 --> 00:11:35.179
Click on the Content Browser

224
00:11:35.479 --> 00:11:39.900
then drag and drop the Skeletal Mesh into the level

225
00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:41.520
It’s best to place it at the starting point

226
00:11:41.520 --> 00:11:43.379
So here

227
00:11:45.119 --> 00:11:50.660
at the starting point, I'll put it here

228
00:11:52.520 --> 00:11:54.000
I'll start here

229
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.559
and rotate the direction like this

230
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.200
Once placed

231
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.080
the character will start from here and walk forward during the animation

232
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:04.860
Done

233
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.040
With this, the setup is complete

234
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.900
Now, we need to add the placed character to the sequencer

235
00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:14.719
In the Outliner window

236
00:12:14.719 --> 00:12:17.919
find the actor named Vampire A Lusth

237
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.399
and this second shot

238
00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:21.741
This is the second shot

239
00:12:21.741 --> 00:12:25.980
drag and drop it into the second shot of the sequencer

240
00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:29.979
You should see it listed in the sequence below

241
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:34.640
Next, we’ll control the character’s movement

242
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.180
We need to control two types of movement

243
00:12:38.520 --> 00:12:40.200
First, movement

244
00:12:40.430 --> 00:12:42.790
The position animation

245
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.179
Numbers for

246
00:12:45.671 --> 00:12:46.539
its coordinates

247
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.760
represent the character’s location

248
00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:52.039
Starting from coordinates

249
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.799
 like -1,900

250
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.440
X coordinate is around -100

251
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.780
It's enough

252
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.880
First, we need to adjust the position

253
00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:06.300
We need to move the location first

254
00:13:06.300 --> 00:13:07.360
Let's leave it like this

255
00:13:11.119 --> 00:13:13.740
In the first frame, I will click the location marker

256
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:21.039
and say, "This is where I am"

257
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.280
Then, you can see that the transform value of this Vampire A Lusth

258
00:13:25.280 --> 00:13:27.359
is recorded like this

259
00:13:27.359 --> 00:13:32.380
To be more precise, the location value of the transform is recorded

260
00:13:33.520 --> 00:13:36.440
How many seconds should we make this state?

261
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.559
About 3 seconds

262
00:13:38.885 --> 00:13:40.065
Let's make it 2.5 seconds

263
00:13:40.065 --> 00:13:43.919
It will be easy to move

264
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.000
from here to here like this

265
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.399
This much

266
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.039
It seems like it will move faster

267
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.799
to move from here to here in 2.5 seconds

268
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.080
Let's move it to this location for now

269
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.719
and then put a marker at 2.5 seconds

270
00:14:02.719 --> 00:14:07.159
and click Add Keyframe of the location again to mark it

271
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.479
Then, you can see that it is over there at frame 0

272
00:14:09.479 --> 00:14:12.599
and then at the end of the tunnel

273
00:14:12.599 --> 00:14:16.760
and moves like this until 2.5 seconds

274
00:14:16.760 --> 00:14:20.700
That's it, the animation for the movement of the location is finished

275
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:22.780
Changes in Position Movement

276
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.719
Now, since the character is moving

277
00:14:25.719 --> 00:14:28.320
in a T-pose with arms spread out

278
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:29.279
it doesn’t give the natural feeling of walking

279
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.119
The motion that moves directly

280
00:14:31.119 --> 00:14:33.400
We have the walking motion

281
00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:35.599
I think that if we put in this walking motion

282
00:14:35.599 --> 00:14:37.479
it will feel very natural

283
00:14:37.479 --> 00:14:40.479
to move while walking

284
00:14:40.479 --> 00:14:44.039
Click the plus button next to Vampire A Lusth

285
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.760
as we’re adding an animation for this character

286
00:14:47.760 --> 00:14:50.200
Then, click the character's plus button

287
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.119
and click on Animation

288
00:14:52.239 --> 00:14:55.840
Then you can see the animation files

289
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.239
that this character can move

290
00:14:58.239 --> 00:15:00.520
and that this character can control

291
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.520
You can see the Crouched Walking animation here, right?

292
00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:05.000
Let’s select it

293
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.480
Once selected, you’ll notice a block appears on the timeline

294
00:15:10.520 --> 00:15:14.080
creating an Animation Track

295
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.059
This block represents

296
00:15:16.599 --> 00:15:17.720
the Crouched Walking

297
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:22.739
Crouced_Walking animation sequence

298
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.780
and controls when it plays

299
00:15:25.780 --> 00:15:27.560
When the timeline marker passes through this

300
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.679
you’ll see the animation play

301
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.520
You can see that when the marker passes by like this, it animates like this

302
00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:36.880
But when it leaves this block, it doesn't work

303
00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:38.760
Right?

304
00:15:38.760 --> 00:15:40.239
This is the relationship

305
00:15:40.239 --> 00:15:41.699
We want

306
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:46.719
the character to walk from frame 0 to frame 2.5

307
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:52.960
so we need the animation to play during that time

308
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.479
So, drag the block

309
00:15:55.479 --> 00:15:58.200
and stretch it

310
00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:59.184
until

311
00:15:59.184 --> 00:16:01.045
2.5 seconds

312
00:16:01.046 --> 00:16:01.675
Done

313
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.599
Now, when you play from the first frame

314
00:16:06.119 --> 00:16:10.219
you'll see the character walking to the designated point

315
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.039
Good

316
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:12.612
Next

317
00:16:12.885 --> 00:16:15.365
We want the character to stop at that position

318
00:16:15.760 --> 00:16:20.840
and perform the Roar animation

319
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.440
So, for this, we'll add the Roar animation to the animation track

320
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.039
Click the plus button

321
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.280
Then select the Roar animation

322
00:16:28.660 --> 00:16:31.119
Once added, you'll see it attached right after

323
00:16:31.119 --> 00:16:33.280
Sometimes, when you look under

324
00:16:33.280 --> 00:16:36.159
the tracks might appear stacked vertically

325
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.360
but if you drag them up, they will align horizontally

326
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.119
Then, if you go like this

327
00:16:41.119 --> 00:16:43.760
and start from 2.5 seconds

328
00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:46.340
you can see that the Roar motion is executed

329
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.919
But if you play it, it's cut off like this

330
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.039
It doesn't feel natural

331
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.280
Rather than walking and then suddenly roaring

332
00:16:55.280 --> 00:17:00.319
it would look much better if there was continuous motion in the middle

333
00:17:00.319 --> 00:17:02.440
and then the roar

334
00:17:02.680 --> 00:17:06.479
So, there's a way to blend

335
00:17:06.479 --> 00:17:08.960
and mix these two animations

336
00:17:09.560 --> 00:17:12.560
So you can move the Roar behind it like this

337
00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:14.800
Just push this Roar forward

338
00:17:14.800 --> 00:17:17.340
If you push it, it'll overlap like this

339
00:17:17.520 --> 00:17:20.719
When the animations overlap

340
00:17:20.719 --> 00:17:22.920
the walking animation gradually fades out

341
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:24.839
and the roar animation gradually fades in

342
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:29.319
This creates a smooth transition

343
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:30.560
between the two animations

344
00:17:30.560 --> 00:17:31.760
Let's play it

345
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:32.740
and see how it works

346
00:17:33.959 --> 00:17:38.960
As you can see, the character walks and seamlessly transitions

347
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.240
Right?

348
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.479
Since the character seems to slide a bit forward

349
00:17:44.479 --> 00:17:46.839
we'll need to adjust the timing slightly

350
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:54.339
Adjusting the timing slightly

351
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.319
allows you to create the effect of the character

352
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.160
moving and then suddenly roaring

353
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:02.060
It's simple, right?

354
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:03.460
Now

355
00:18:03.461 --> 00:18:04.809
Move

356
00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:06.880
Roar

357
00:18:07.780 --> 00:18:08.360
Done?

358
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.880
Now, the character's movement is complete

359
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.079
Next, we need to set up the camera

360
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.560
The camera movement will be similar to what we originally planned

361
00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:20.800
with no change in its position

362
00:18:20.800 --> 00:18:21.719
About here

363
00:18:21.719 --> 00:18:24.000
The camera will stay somewhere around the center

364
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.400
It will focus on the character

365
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.439
looking at the character

366
00:18:28.439 --> 00:18:30.019
and quickly rotate

367
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:36.500
I'll try to make it so that it looks like

368
00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:39.280
a monster pops out

369
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.359
and turns around in surprise

370
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.520
First, let's go to the first frame

371
00:18:43.520 --> 00:18:44.960
Now, camera

372
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:45.861
It's camera

373
00:18:45.861 --> 00:18:47.560
The current camera is

374
00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:49.160
Cine Camera Actor 5

375
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:51.319
If you double-click the camera

376
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:52.400
you'll see it's right here

377
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:54.520
It's looking at this point now

378
00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:58.019
so on the left, you can see what the camera is looking at

379
00:18:58.219 --> 00:19:00.339
From here, I'll move it up slightly

380
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.079
I'll adjust the camera position

381
00:19:05.520 --> 00:19:08.760
and move it back a bit

382
00:19:08.760 --> 00:19:09.337
on the pillar

383
00:19:09.613 --> 00:19:12.033
Let's set it up so it looks like this from this pillar

384
00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:15.559
Let's set it up like this so that

385
00:19:17.479 --> 00:19:19.199
you can see it from near the pillar

386
00:19:19.199 --> 00:19:20.239
Position it like this

387
00:19:20.239 --> 00:19:21.640
Here, I'll look like this

388
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.079
like this

389
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:24.019
and do this

390
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:26.820
The position is roughly set

391
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:29.400
so moving it further is unnecessary

392
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.840
We probably don't need to add keyframes for position changes

393
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.659
Initially, setting this camera

394
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.280
to face the Player Start asset

395
00:19:38.280 --> 00:19:40.160
would be good

396
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.959
So, with the camera selected

397
00:19:41.959 --> 00:19:44.079
select the Cine Camera Actor

398
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.280
and in the Details

399
00:19:45.280 --> 00:19:46.800
check Enable Look at Tracking Settings

400
00:19:46.800 --> 00:19:50.479
under Enable Look at Tracking

401
00:19:50.479 --> 00:19:52.599
Since it's not set yet

402
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:54.520
clikc the picker

403
00:19:54.520 --> 00:19:57.280
and select the Player Start

404
00:19:57.280 --> 00:19:59.040
to make the camera look at it

405
00:20:00.040 --> 00:20:01.560
At this point

406
00:20:01.560 --> 00:20:03.839
set a keyframe for

407
00:20:04.479 --> 00:20:08.020
the Look at Tracking target to align it

408
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:09.879
Next

409
00:20:11.251 --> 00:20:14.920
the character appears from the beginning

410
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.180
The character starts to appear from the very beginning

411
00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:19.280
and at the moment they emerge

412
00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:22.800
around this tunnel

413
00:20:22.800 --> 00:20:23.376
over here

414
00:20:24.776 --> 00:20:25.776
it's about

415
00:20:27.531 --> 00:20:28.951
1.5 seconds

416
00:20:29.239 --> 00:20:31.679
Around 1.5 seconds in

417
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:35.740
make the camera look at the character

418
00:20:36.520 --> 00:20:39.040
Click picker again

419
00:20:39.040 --> 00:20:41.420
and select the character

420
00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:44.119
Then, at this point

421
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:48.560
you set another keyframe with a solid click

422
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.259
In the first frame

423
00:20:52.479 --> 00:20:56.479
it focuses on the Player Start

424
00:20:56.959 --> 00:20:59.560
In the first frame, it looks at Player Start

425
00:20:59.560 --> 00:21:02.180
and moves

426
00:21:02.800 --> 00:21:04.380
and after about 1.5 seconds

427
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.400
the mark moves continuously

428
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.519
and after 1.5 seconds

429
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.979
we can see this character

430
00:21:16.139 --> 00:21:17.580
And keeps following it

431
00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:23.180
Capturing even the "Ah!" moment

432
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.680
Done

433
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:26.239
But it's here

434
00:21:27.439 --> 00:21:29.839
Look at the player for up to 1.5 seconds

435
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.280
But from 1.5 seconds on, it looks the character

436
00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:35.300
but it suddenly cuts off

437
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:37.839
We'll need to create

438
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.800
a smoother transition where the camera

439
00:21:40.800 --> 00:21:42.520
naturally pans toward the character

440
00:21:42.520 --> 00:21:45.680
To achieve this, within the Look at function of the camera

441
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.579
go to the Details panel and find the Look at Tracking Interp Speed

442
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.239
There's Look at Tracking Interp Speed

443
00:21:52.239 --> 00:21:53.760
Currently, it's set to 0

444
00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:55.520
Let me put a number in here

445
00:21:55.520 --> 00:21:57.839
Let's put 1

446
00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:59.180
So, what happens now?

447
00:21:59.560 --> 00:22:01.839
As the marker moves

448
00:22:02.239 --> 00:22:06.520
instead of the camera snapping abruptly

449
00:22:06.520 --> 00:22:09.000
you can see it smoothly rotating like this

450
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:13.160
Let's test it with a proper playthrough

451
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:14.180
When you hit play

452
00:22:15.560 --> 00:22:19.419
you'll notice that the camera transitions smoothly as it moves

453
00:22:20.719 --> 00:22:22.499
The Interp Speed setting

454
00:22:22.959 --> 00:22:26.920
determines how naturally the camera transitions

455
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.820
 from the first target to the second

456
00:22:29.820 --> 00:22:33.120
controlling the speed of that movement

457
00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:36.160
Let's try a higher value

458
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.439
say 3

459
00:22:38.439 --> 00:22:42.260
Then the transition becomes faster

460
00:22:43.280 --> 00:22:45.619
It should be faster like this

461
00:22:45.939 --> 00:22:49.779
If you increase the value to 5, the transition becomes even faster

462
00:22:49.999 --> 00:22:51.040
You'll see the camera snap

463
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.620
more sharply

464
00:22:54.280 --> 00:22:56.579
From the first frame, as you hit play

465
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:01.999
the camera quickly shifts

466
00:23:02.719 --> 00:23:05.160
If you play it

467
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:06.580
it looks back in sudden

468
00:23:06.581 --> 00:23:07.861
"Argh"

469
00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:11.760
Now, let's add more detail

470
00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:15.180
At around 1.5 seconds

471
00:23:15.860 --> 00:23:18.540
the camera focuses on the character

472
00:23:18.860 --> 00:23:21.719
and as the character yells "Ah!"

473
00:23:21.719 --> 00:23:24.439
the current wide shot feels less impactful

474
00:23:24.439 --> 00:23:28.640
So, between 1.5 and 2 seconds, we'll zoom in at this point

475
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.680
We zoom in and go in at this point

476
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:32.460
When you look closer

477
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.280
you do this

478
00:23:36.280 --> 00:23:40.719
among the camera's settings, there's Current Focal Length

479
00:23:40.760 --> 00:23:43.019
If you increase the Current Focal Length

480
00:23:43.719 --> 00:23:48.399
you'll notice the camera zooming in

481
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:51.420
This is how you use it

482
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.160
The setting for the direction that zooms in on the camera

483
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.039
is Current Focal Length

484
00:24:00.059 --> 00:24:01.699
Let's see, up to here

485
00:24:02.479 --> 00:24:04.280
Until about 1.5

486
00:24:04.280 --> 00:24:05.880
or 1.6 seconds

487
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:07.420
About 1.6 seconds

488
00:24:08.040 --> 00:24:11.280
the Current Focal Length value

489
00:24:11.280 --> 00:24:15.439
currently set to 35, needs to remain unchanged

490
00:24:15.439 --> 00:24:18.560
So, let's add a keyframe here

491
00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:22.479
And around this time

492
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.119
in between these 2 seconds

493
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.079
I'm going to just go to 2 seconds

494
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:29.740
In between these 2 seconds

495
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.259
should I zoom in to 100?

496
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:35.240
That's too close

497
00:24:36.560 --> 00:24:37.760
I'm going to set around 80

498
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.359
I'm going to really increase the Focal Length to around 80

499
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.040
After that, we'll add another keyframe

500
00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:46.520
Now, the animation is in place

501
00:24:46.520 --> 00:24:49.160
Up until 1.5 seconds

502
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:54.280
the Focal Length remains at 35

503
00:24:54.280 --> 00:24:57.779
but starting from there, it gradually zooms in

504
00:24:59.199 --> 00:25:01.299
and at 2 seconds

505
00:25:01.719 --> 00:25:03.280
it zooms in like this

506
00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:06.719
If you look at the character

507
00:25:06.719 --> 00:25:08.639
it appears too high in the frame

508
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:13.359
So, while maintaining the current position up to this point

509
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:18.299
it would be better to adjust the camera

510
00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:20.400
so that the character is centered when zoomed in

511
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.400
Let's align this at 6 seconds

512
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.339
In the Details panel of the Cine Camera Actor

513
00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:28.939
you'll find the Look At Tracking Setting

514
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:31.520
Instead of selecting the inner component

515
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:38.000
choose the outer component to access its options

516
00:25:38.520 --> 00:25:41.959
Under the Look At Tracking Setting

517
00:25:41.959 --> 00:25:42.641
We decided here

518
00:25:42.941 --> 00:25:45.401
what kind of actors

519
00:25:45.401 --> 00:25:46.800
we were going to look at

520
00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:50.000
Right below, there's an option called Relative Offset

521
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:51.520
This setting determines

522
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:57.760
how much the camera shifts

523
00:25:57.760 --> 00:26:00.000
relative to the target it's looking at

524
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:01.280
If it's set to 0, 0, 0

525
00:26:01.804 --> 00:26:02.924
It's now vampire

526
00:26:02.924 --> 00:26:05.239
the camera focuses on the target's origin

527
00:26:05.264 --> 00:26:06.264
It is

528
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:08.340
at the very bottom, right at its feet

529
00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:09.760
Under the feet

530
00:26:10.800 --> 00:26:14.760
Up until 0.16 seconds, focusing on the feet seems fine

531
00:26:14.760 --> 00:26:17.520
So, let's add a keyframe

532
00:26:17.520 --> 00:26:19.599
to Relative Offset here

533
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:24.000
So, until 1.16 seconds, the Relative Offset value remains at

534
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:25.019
0, 0, 0

535
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.680
However, around 2 seconds

536
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.800
we'll adjust the Relative Offset

537
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.480
then you'll see the X, Y, Z axes

538
00:26:36.040 --> 00:26:38.280
and since we're adjusting upwards, it's the Z axis

539
00:26:38.280 --> 00:26:38.999
Using the gizmo

540
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:42.460
raise the Z value

541
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:45.280
while checking the camera view

542
00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:47.800
It should see the camera view

543
00:26:47.800 --> 00:26:49.720
All the way up, about here

544
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.479
Let's set it to about 60

545
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.959
or 70 for better alignment

546
00:26:55.959 --> 00:26:58.079
As you raise it, the character comes into the center

547
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.400
This looks good

548
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.520
Add a keyframe here

549
00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:07.520
Now, until 1.16 seconds, the Relative Offset stays at 0

550
00:27:07.520 --> 00:27:11.079
but gradually increases

551
00:27:11.179 --> 00:27:14.839
and by 2 seconds, the character is properly centered

552
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:18.959
You can see how well the camera captures the character this way

553
00:27:18.959 --> 00:27:19.880
Alright, let's review it again

554
00:27:20.760 --> 00:27:22.679
Starting from the first frame, Play

555
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:25.479
The camera moves and zooms in

556
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:26.220
Looks good

557
00:27:27.719 --> 00:27:31.899
But when zoomed in, something seems a bit off

558
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:36.760
The focus is slightly off

559
00:27:36.760 --> 00:27:38.359
I think we need to do focus

560
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:39.560
It looks blurry

561
00:27:39.560 --> 00:27:40.880
Looking to the right

562
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.140
This is a scene where everything comes out clear anyway

563
00:27:43.520 --> 00:27:47.240
since there is nothing to focus on

564
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.699
but there is a comparison between something clear and some

565
00:27:50.999 --> 00:27:53.280
So, for this camera

566
00:27:53.280 --> 00:27:56.959
we need to adjust the focus on the character to make it appear sharp

567
00:27:56.959 --> 00:28:02.119
To adjust the focus on the character

568
00:28:02.479 --> 00:28:06.239
look for the Focus Settings option in the Details

569
00:28:06.239 --> 00:28:07.359
It's located just below Lens Settings

570
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:08.959
If you expand Focus Settings

571
00:28:08.959 --> 00:28:13.400
you'll see an option called Manual Focus Distance

572
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:16.199
The current value is set to a distance far away

573
00:28:16.199 --> 00:28:19.839
essentially not intended to focus on anything specific

574
00:28:20.479 --> 00:28:21.560
For the first part

575
00:28:21.560 --> 00:28:23.252
up to 1.6 seconds

576
00:28:23.252 --> 00:28:24.959
leave the Manual Focus Distance

577
00:28:24.959 --> 00:28:27.280
at its default value

578
00:28:27.280 --> 00:28:32.520
When it's about 2 seconds, you can do it that way

579
00:28:32.520 --> 00:28:33.839
so that you can focus on the character

580
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.359
So, at 1.6 seconds

581
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.079
set the Manual Focus Distance and add a keyframe

582
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.799
This means the default value will remain unchanged

583
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:46.280
from the start to this point

584
00:28:46.280 --> 00:28:51.640
Then, at 2 seconds, you'll need to adjust the focus distance value

585
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:52.640
but you don't know the exact number yet

586
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.640
To set it, click the picker on the right

587
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.159
and select the character

588
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:02.560
This will automatically adjust the focus

589
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.400
If it's not visually obvious

590
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:09.040
there's an option below called Draw Debug Focus Plane

591
00:29:09.040 --> 00:29:12.160
Enable this option

592
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.880
and a purple plane will appear

593
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:20.099
The purple plane represents the focus distance

594
00:29:20.479 --> 00:29:22.119
Focused distance

595
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:24.280
If you look at it

596
00:29:24.280 --> 00:29:26.919
the focus is on the arm that is slightly forward

597
00:29:27.979 --> 00:29:31.579
By adjusting this distance slightly backward

598
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:36.239
toward the face

599
00:29:36.239 --> 00:29:39.920
you can visually confirm that the focus

600
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:41.800
aligns here

601
00:29:41.800 --> 00:29:44.160
This is how I've set up the auxiliary device

602
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.580
If you've checked it, now uncheck it

603
00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:49.640
Then, you'll be able to see that

604
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:52.799
the focus is set exactly around the face

605
00:29:53.199 --> 00:29:58.959
In this state, add a keyframe for the Focal Distance

606
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:01.899
Now, Manual Focus Distance

607
00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:05.279
An animation track has been created

608
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.719
Up until 1.5 seconds

609
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:12.239
the focus remains at its default value without any specific adjustments

610
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.399
At 2 seconds

611
00:30:16.199 --> 00:30:21.560
the camera focuses directly

612
00:30:22.520 --> 00:30:23.239
on the character

613
00:30:26.239 --> 00:30:28.040
Let's review it again

614
00:30:28.040 --> 00:30:29.780
When you play it back

615
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:32.239
you can see the zoom-in

616
00:30:32.239 --> 00:30:33.859
It's done

617
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:38.800
With all the details completed

618
00:30:38.800 --> 00:30:40.720
this shot is now finished

619
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.359
Let's return to MySequenceRoot to view the entire sequence

620
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:45.719
To check the overall sequence

621
00:30:45.719 --> 00:30:47.359
you can play it back in the timeline

622
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.680
but for now, we cannot view them

623
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:51.359
We can't see it because

624
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:53.160
each shot was previously set

625
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:57.520
to view the specific camera spawned for that shot

626
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:01.299
When the marker moves elsewhere, the camera loses

627
00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:02.200
and nothing is displayed

628
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.479
This makes it impossible to check

629
00:31:04.479 --> 00:31:08.640
Similarly, the right side doesn't display it because it's in the middle of editing

630
00:31:09.040 --> 00:31:11.479
To view it properly

631
00:31:13.379 --> 00:31:14.219
look at the track

632
00:31:14.239 --> 00:31:16.520
with the film strip

633
00:31:16.520 --> 00:31:19.140
In the center, there's a camera button

634
00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:21.080
When you click this button

635
00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:30.100
the viewport switches to show exactly what the camera is seeing

636
00:31:30.560 --> 00:31:32.760
So you can't move here

637
00:31:32.760 --> 00:31:34.920
In this mode, the viewport is no longer for editing

638
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:39.040
but is dedicated solely to viewing the sequence on the track

639
00:31:39.280 --> 00:31:42.660
In this state, you can only watch the played-back footage

640
00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:45.119
Let's start from the beginning

641
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:47.579
Go to the first frame and hit play

642
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.540
You'll see the sequence play

643
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.159
with the camera panning

644
00:31:55.739 --> 00:31:57.440
and perfectly capturing the "Ah!" moment

645
00:31:58.257 --> 00:31:59.257
Done

646
00:31:59.260 --> 00:32:01.680
With that, the overall camera angles and character actions

647
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:06.400
we aimed for are complete

648
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:10.079
To exit the view mode, click this button again

649
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:11.000
and it will return

650
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.919
Now, let's export the video

651
00:32:14.219 --> 00:32:16.920
we created into a video file

652
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:20.219
such as an AVI or MP4 file

653
00:32:20.439 --> 00:32:22.520
This process is called rendering in video production

654
00:32:22.520 --> 00:32:25.959
The process of editing a video and finally converting it into a file

655
00:32:25.959 --> 00:32:27.620
is called Rendering

656
00:32:28.040 --> 00:32:31.280
Let's render this video and save it as a video file

657
00:32:31.280 --> 00:32:34.040
First, move the marker back to the beginning

658
00:32:34.040 --> 00:32:36.040
Then, at the top of the sequencer

659
00:32:36.040 --> 00:32:37.520
you'll see a slate icon

660
00:32:37.520 --> 00:32:39.780
Click on it

661
00:32:40.280 --> 00:32:45.400
and the rendering panel provided by Unreal Engine will appear

662
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.679
In the rendering panel, you'll see the Render Movie Settings

663
00:32:48.199 --> 00:32:50.880
These settings allow you to convert

664
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:55.599
our created sequence into a video file

665
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:57.560
You'll notice various options here

666
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:00.199
including the Image Output Format

667
00:33:00.199 --> 00:33:03.359
currently set to AVI

668
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:07.820
By clicking on it, you can choose from several other formats

669
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:11.800
Unreal Engine supports the AVI format

670
00:33:12.280 --> 00:33:14.479
Those of you who work with videos probably know this

671
00:33:14.479 --> 00:33:17.939
When working on videos in After Effects or Premiere

672
00:33:18.659 --> 00:33:21.600
you've probably done a lot of work like this

673
00:33:22.600 --> 00:33:25.280
where you merge images

674
00:33:25.280 --> 00:33:29.919
each frame in a PNG, JPG, or EXR file

675
00:33:29.919 --> 00:33:31.299
into a single video

676
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:34.719
This is why there's an option to export

677
00:33:34.719 --> 00:33:38.059
the content as an image sequence

678
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.199
You can export the sequence as individual image files

679
00:33:41.199 --> 00:33:44.519
which can then be imported into tools like

680
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:46.719
After Effects or Premiere

681
00:33:46.719 --> 00:33:48.379
for further editing, rendering

682
00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:50.920
and video creation

683
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:52.119
You can think of it as this kind of option

684
00:33:53.239 --> 00:33:55.160
Since we only have a single video sequence

685
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:56.680
AVI is our only format option here

686
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:58.880
Let's select AVI for our settings

687
00:33:59.800 --> 00:34:01.319
As for the audio format

688
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:03.520
since there's no audio in our sequence, we'll set it to No Audio

689
00:34:03.520 --> 00:34:05.599
Next, there's the Resolution

690
00:34:05.760 --> 00:34:09.439
The default resolution is 1280x720

691
00:34:09.439 --> 00:34:12.480
but you can increase it to 1920x1080

692
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:14.459
FHD if desired

693
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.959
However, for quicker rendering

694
00:34:17.959 --> 00:34:19.760
we'll stick with 720p for now

695
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:21.679
I recommend not starting with

696
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:23.919
high resolutions initially

697
00:34:23.919 --> 00:34:27.399
especially when testing to see

698
00:34:27.399 --> 00:34:29.039
if the video turns out well

699
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.959
For initial tests, using a lower resolution

700
00:34:32.959 --> 00:34:35.280
or 16:9 aspect ratio

701
00:34:35.560 --> 00:34:38.239
such as 640x360

702
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:42.320
It's good to work with a ratio like this

703
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.679
So, I recommend first rendering a lower-resolution thumbnail

704
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.119
to check how it looks and then switching to a higher quality for rendering

705
00:34:49.479 --> 00:34:52.120
For now, we'll stick with 1280x720

706
00:34:52.120 --> 00:34:53.639
and proceed with rendering

707
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:55.439
Increase the quality

708
00:34:55.439 --> 00:34:57.639
At the bottom, you'll see the Output Directory

709
00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:59.399
The output directory is a path

710
00:34:59.399 --> 00:35:01.040
Where should I save it

711
00:35:01.040 --> 00:35:04.479
Clicking the "..." button allows you to choose the desired folder

712
00:35:04.479 --> 00:35:07.280
Let's set it to save on the desktop

713
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:11.480
We've selected the desktop

714
00:35:13.780 --> 00:35:15.760
and chosen a folder named Movie

715
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:22.340
as the save location

716
00:35:22.520 --> 00:35:24.479
This should work for now

717
00:35:24.479 --> 00:35:26.000
Next, we'll proceed with Capture Movie

718
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:27.080
I didn't save it

719
00:35:27.080 --> 00:35:37.720
You save it using Save Select and then play it

720
00:35:39.700 --> 00:35:42.260
During recording, the process may slow down significantly

721
00:35:44.120 --> 00:35:46.200
because it renders each frame individually

722
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.740
There's an issue with the rendering results

723
00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:00.959
In the previous section, we focused on player start

724
00:36:00.959 --> 00:36:02.239
Thinking about it

725
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:05.360
the Player Start is an actor located within

726
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:13.319
the Demo4 level instance, not the current level

727
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:16.239
So, when recording

728
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:20.779
and running the rendering function of this sequencer

729
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:27.000
we can't find the actors in this level instance called Demo Map

730
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:28.000
This makes sense because

731
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:31.960
if you check the actor within the level instance, it's entirely disabled

732
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.639
Since the engine cannot detect disabled actors

733
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:41.239
issues occur where the camera doesn't know where to focus

734
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:42.479
leading to

735
00:36:42.479 --> 00:36:44.999
the errors we encountered

736
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:48.959
So, I placed a cylinder at the center

737
00:36:48.959 --> 00:36:52.000
For example, in the first shot

738
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:56.639
here's the focus of the camera actor

739
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:59.100
I changed the Actor2 Track target

740
00:37:00.234 --> 00:37:01.994
from Player Start

741
00:37:01.994 --> 00:37:06.280
to the newly created cylinder

742
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:07.760
I did the same for the second shot

743
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.820
For the second shot

744
00:37:10.600 --> 00:37:13.399
the target track that the camera is looking at

745
00:37:13.399 --> 00:37:17.439
the actor 2 track corresponding to the marker

746
00:37:17.959 --> 00:37:22.639
in the first frame of the actor 2 track

747
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:26.280
I changed the target to a cylinder in this part

748
00:37:26.640 --> 00:37:29.519
When I did that, it was output normally

749
00:37:32.839 --> 00:37:34.920
The final result now looks as intended

750
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:49.040
