This is so well expained, I thought about doing something like that. This will help me a lot. Thanks a lot
Amazing, well done. Thank you for sharing.
Just what I need, thanks!
Super Thanks man, this is GOLD for my little project, thank you
You're welcome!
Thanks so much this is so cool!
Great work !
Thanks for this! 😄
thanks a lot for this :DD
thx dude..this is good stuff here...you are natural
Very useful! Thank you!
You're welcome
Bravo! Thank you for the video tutorial
You're welcome!
thankyou soo much this video helped me out soo much
No problem
Brilliant! I love videos that do what they say they are going to do. Thanks so much for this. I had to laugh as I did this in VUE 8 about ten years ago. Took nearly 3 days to render 25 seconds and it looked rubbish as the footage was shot at 720p on a camcorder!
Yeah, it's incredible how relatively quick renders are now, with such good quality
Thank you!!
Thank you
exelente me ayudastes un montos desde argentina
wow very nice
New subscriber here.. I followed all your steps and It worked perfectly. The only issue I have is that I can't get the green screen Image sequence to play with the world I created. How do you pull up the Sequencer again, or get it to play?
Thanks, do you know how can we keep the shadow if we want to do the final keying and compositing in other software after exporting scene from unreal engine ?
Thanks for the great lesson. May I ask what resolution is your live action green screen footage? And the resolution of your final composited export? I'm impressed that the grn scrn footage didn't lose a little crispness with the virtual camera move in on it. Thanks again - we're all looking forward to your next tutorial!
Thanks! The resolution is 1080p
Hi great video - do you know why when i export the green screen plays out in slow motion rather than normal speed - the fps of the exr image sequence is 25 and matches the timeline and project settings but it still renders to slow motion?

Glad to have found this channel.
Is it possible to track movement in your green screen footage and bring that animated camera in Unreal to render out the background and then composite both layers in AE/Nuke?
Basically my question is how to integrate non-static green screen footage with Unreal? Thanks
I haven't done that before, although this tutorial might be helpful for you ua-cam.com/video/xrp3n5fPYK0/v-deo.html I guess another method could be to place a virtual green screen in Unreal, render a movie and then key it out in AE if you just want certain elements from UE to place in AE
ua-cam.com/video/FFJ_THGj72U/v-deo.html do this and then export the camera and the planes.
GOOD
There's just something about the way UE handles the media import layer that gives it low immersion in the scene. I think other composite software platforms still handle it better unfortunately
Супер как это увлекательно)
Hi, awesome tutorial. Could you give some advice on how to color grade just the greenscreen footage? I'm very new to unreal 4, and can't seem to find the way to do it. i can add global adjustments, but that's not what i'm looking for. Thanks!
AFAIK it's not possible inside Unreal, you'll have to do it in video editing software first
i bet you did so much work for that short result lol, im doing so many for a lot of resulting and boy what a big project.
It took a while, but still a lot less time (and no cost) versus creating a real scene with actors in a studio!
girl spying on her neighbors, that was funny idk why
This is most clear and right to the point tutorial green screen on UA-cam! thank you so much, one question, how to color correction green screen object to make it match with the scenery on unreal ? I hope you can make another tutorial about that. Thank you so much again
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any colour correction in Unreal, so the video/img sequence has to be colour corrected in a different software (such as Premiere Pro) before importing to UE.
@@Monoville thank you for your explanation
Hi. great lesson. And how to do this in unreal 5.? Willing to pay for help
I’ve been trying to find a tutorial on how to color correct A Media texture. I thought I found the answer using a color correction region. For some reason it doesn’t affect the plane that holds my green screen image… Is there a setting that I have to change?
It is really very nice tutorial. Best part you are speaking very slowly which gives the time to setup concept in mind. My one question how do you retain shadow of green screen character?
Should automatically cast shadow, you might have to change the material type to default lit. And/or two-sided? Might have to check this when I'm back from travelling
Thanks for the great tutorial... Do you know how to output in sequencer (when you have a live input via camlink). I have followed your tutorial to the letter, but my live feed always goes blank as it renders the movie out.
Sorry, I've never done it live before. Will post a tutorial if I do though
Love the video Monoville, but my shadows aren't moving like yours. It's weird. It updates the shadow position every time I stop the sequencer, but when it's playing back, the shadow is static. Any ideas on what I could change to fix it? I'm using the directionallight, skylight, skydomemesh, and volumetric clouds
Sorry I figured it out. it was because of UE5 Beta shadow option that was turned on in the project settings.
Thanks for the great tutorial! Which settings did you use for rendering? Everything works well on my end but the green screen footage has a weird blur effect between frames in preview and when I render it out… yours looks perfect
I've noticed this too but only seems to happen in UE5, never had the problem with UE4
I figured out a solution… have to turn off anti-aliasing
Project settings. Set anti aliasing to none or fast
@@duringadream111 no problem!
The best tutorials are made by people who sound bored.
The green screen video is no longer available. Do you have another source for it?
Is there any way to use OFX compatible plugins directly inside Unreal Engine?
How do you export the video?
When I enter play mode it justs gets frozen like an image. Any idea why?
Thank you for this tutorial. Just forward and backward movements seem to be possible with this. What if I want to move the camera from the front to the side or behind the subject. For example if the camera filming the subject on greenscreen is moving. Is it possible to import this tracking data into UE so the 3D environment acts according to the camera? Cheers.
You can move the camera in any direction, but obviously with the green screen object being a flat plane that needs to be taken into consideration
@@Monoville yes, that’s what I was thinking. Thanks anyway. Keep up the good work.
Is there a way to download the project file ?
Can you open your project in after effects to control the camera? I'm wanting to make scene with unreal engine then add lyrics for a lyric in after effects
Can't open with After Effects, unfortunately
cool, would u mind giving the link to this ArchViz Interior project, i've tried browsing the learning section but not be able to find it, tq
Unfortunately I can't find any kind of way to directly link to it, but if you open the Epic Games Launcher, then go to Unreal Engine, and click the Learn tab, scroll down and it's on the fourth row down
@@Monoville oktq
I found you through your Warhammer 40k animation, am I able to get metahuman on my Android phone?
Not at the moment, unfortunately
@@Monoville thanks for the response, and take your time when it comes to animating, were all able to wait for your good work
The starting video had camera movement. How did you do it. Also there was a shadow part and lightning part in the introduction video. Please explain those bits too. Thanks 🎉
camera movement was just done with camera in level sequence. The shadow will only show if the material type is set to "Default Lit" (rather than "unlit")
@@Monoville Many Thanks
At the 4:00 mark I don't have the Parameter Options > Keyer 01 Color Sample (I'm using Unreal Engine 5) So my dashboard is a bit different now.
You have to download the composure plugin...
Great video! Is it possible to accomplish this with regular video instead of jpg pictures? Thank you
Wouldn't it be easier to remove the green screen in AE and export a png image sequence with the alpha? Just asking, I'm new to UE, this seems very complicated for removing a green screen, I've been searching for a quicker workflow but everything I've seen is pretty similar so I'm asking
AFAIK you can't import png files to UE like that. Everything has to be masked or keyed out via blueprint. It does seem complicated but after doing it a few times it can be done quickly enough to not be a pain. Hopefully UE5 will have a better way of doing it
@@Monoville Ok thanks, understood
when exporting it as a video, the final video has the keyed actor going really slow. Any solution for this?
Hmm, could be the fps of the green screen image sequence and the fps of the Unreal Level sequence not matching?
Good video. I'm wondering who and when the next "Unreal" killer will appear in 2025 or sooner....maybe Unity will step it up. Everything has become so much easier (still not easy haha) ...but I wonder how AI will change things.
We will soon be entering a very fast-paced indie world of fast cut and paste video making.
Will we still need million dollar $$$ 100 foot long curved LED virtual walls to produce rhe next Hollywood style Mandelorian.
in my material does not want to disappear the green color, despite the fact that I did step by step as you in the lesson - please tell me what could be the problem? Unreal 5.2.1
Sorry for late reply, make sure you're using the Material instance rather than the material
hello help please my green screen not appear, why?
Hey Great Tut! I have a doubt. I'm working on a song and i would like shadows to be casted in my CG plane.. is it possible in this method ?
Shadows will be cast on it, but only if you have it kept as default lit (rather than changing it to unlit as I do in the video)
@@Monoville Thank You! Is there any way to make it realistic eventhough we don't unlit it?
@@daesmasfun9230 just play around with the light angle/exposure/radius etc. Unfortunately since it's a flat plane rather than a 3d model it can be hard to get the shadows to always look realistic though. The night driving scene in my "Buried Under Snow" video shows an example of it working to an extent
@@Monoville Will Check! Thanks Mate. Keep up the Great Tut.. would help so many.
Hey! My video stucks while exporting.. it's not clear as yours.. please help ...
I’m trying to shoot a music video with a green screen and unreal engine would love to be able to chat with you
Can you recommend a cheap desktop pc for unreal engine to create movies and to use Da Vinci Resolve 18 well?
THANKS
What is your price range?
@@Monoville I believe that more than 250 I cannot exceed. but if you have even more tell me anyway.
Thanks
@@flavio2702 might be a bit tight with that budget but you could get something on ebay pre-owned with a GTX 1060 graphics card that would work well
if the processor was intel i7 and not quad core would it be okay?
@@flavio2702 might struggle a bit. I have an i7 but it's an 8 core
I tried twice my plane turned into a media icon.
Anyone come across this problem or know how to fix this? Thanks
wow lots of steps. does unreal have macros or scripting something that could make this easier?
Hell yeah. It's complex AF
Don't think so. But it's not as difficult as it seems after doing it a few times. A quicker/simpler method would be nice though...
@@Monoville yeah this is actually pretty easy set up, quite basic.
You have such a crooner voice, you should song 😆
Hello why is my rendered green screen video is moving fast than the scene?
Did you use a video instead of an image sequence?
@@Monoville I used both but i got the same results everytime :(
@@shahzaibnawab5025 I've seen it with video but not with image sequence. One other thing, have you made sure the fps of the level sequence is the same as the fps of the image sequence?
@@Monoville Thankyou i will try it today
Can this be done with video files?
You can, but the video comes out very sped up when it renders. Only solution is to slow the video down in premiere pro or something, save a version at that slow speed and then put it in Unreal, so it will come out at normal speed in the render.
@@Monoville ouch... that's not too practical
hi is there a way of doing this in unity thanks
Hi, I've never used unity so not sure about that unfortunately!
@@Monoville Thanks for reply and tutorial.I eventually found a tutorial for unity and I am continuing my progress cheers Perry
I am trying to get a laptop that can handle unreal engine 5 because I travel a lot. Do you or anyone here in the chats have a recommendation?
What's your budget?
@@Monoville my budget is 3.5k
@@mcdk4716 you could get the Alienware R4 m17 with rtx 3080 gpu. Pretty much the most powerful laptop on the market, and is about $3500. I have the Alienware 51m with rtx 2080 which is also very good and about $1000 less, probably a bit better value as the 3080 isn't that much better than the 2080 in laptops and you could spend the extra on more RAM and SSD storage
Word of warning though, these laptops are heavy and come with two power packs to run the high voltage. Something like an Acer Predator with gtx 1060 is a lot lighter, about $1000 and you'll be able to run UE5, although with slower performance
@@Monoville Which is better for blender and unreal… Alienware R4 M17 or Gigabyte aero 15/17
UE is amazing but why is this method so long winded and complicated. In Blender you can import images as planes with one click. Cant you do this in UE?
I mean if the footage is already keyed out.
Right now this is the quickest way to do it in Unreal, unfortunately
@@Monoville thanks for the reply! Hopefully they might make the process easier in the future.
@@ukmonk hope so!
so complicated...
This is such an old way to do it. There has to be an easier way. No chance this would be used in industry.
It's very complicated
I think it can be different

Ffs i really want to learn this shtty program but this sht is really made for game engine they should have made like another film production version or sht. Well i am doing well with my baby blender
