Animation and rendering questions in Unreal 4.

chilloutz

I am a generalist and have worked for both film and games. I have written a script and I am making a trailer for it which I want to render out of unreal 4. Can I render sequences out from the camera in unreal which I can take into programs like after effects or adobe premiere to edit and do post work on? Also I am mainly a modeler... how hard it is to import animated camera's and animated characters into unreal? There will be no blending... Thanks.

Epic just released 4.12, which now has Sequencer fully integrated. This is a full-fledged video-editing/director toolkit. I haven't tried it yet but it looks fantastic. It pretty much replaces the older Matinee tools. Character animation is very straightforward these days in UE. In fact also in 4.12 is the ability to import entire max/Maya scenefiles, directly. Check out Sequencer:
