Excellent! I just started with Unreal and was looking for an easy way to do an orbit. I figured there must be something easier than a rail and now I found it, thanks to you.

I was wasting time with rails, splines, many tutorials and something this simple is just what I always want. Great video and help, thanks for it!

This is fantastic! Many thanks for the fast and simple breakdown!

I tried to figure this out for hours and nothing worked until I found your tutorial! thank you so much it helped a lot!😍😍

Finally I found brilliant video regarding camera constraints. Thank you very much !

Thanks Jon, really l;ike the way you explain things so clear and make me much less panic to learn!

Thank you for this tutorial!! Saved me from tons of time for my finals project.

Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks!

Amazing video. It was exactly what I needed for my own board game project. You are a life saver :) Thanks a lot

Perfect tips, thank you.

Thank You

Thanks, Jon! Very useful technique.

Oh my god this solves something that has been frustrating me about UE5 every time I’ve been setting up a scene!

Thanks for this

I felt I learned from this a lot. Thanx

really cool tutorial, i had to skip the "convert to spawnable" step though because it was removing my camera from the world outliner and then preventing me from being able to save the sequence. but it all worked perfectly without that step. i'm on a mac with Unreal v5.1.1.

valuable content

Thanks, this is helpful.

Great tutorial!

You are the best❤

Very cool...thank you 😎🤙

Dramatic pause!!! 😂 good tips my man!! Ue5 hypeeeeee!

Everything igenious is simple!) Thx!

Found this on a blog -> "I want to move 360 degrees - however, the camera will find the smallest path of movement (annoyingly) - so using the sequencer to move 359 degrees clockwise, will actually result in 1 degree of movement anti clockwise. The way I found to get around this is to set the camera rotation start point at -180 degrees, and move round to 180 degrees"

This helps alot. Don't know why Unreal doesn't have a simple camera rail to orbit 360 around any selected item. Seems like a Duh to me. So this is useful info.

legend , implementing it in 5.4 but with MOTION ENGINE

You can also Double Click in the Project viewport, instead of Ctrl + I

This is the only real tutorial about orbitting

Subbed. Nice job.

nice Video! Thanks :)

Great video! super helpful!.. I have a doubt though, I am currently making a longer animation and this technique works great for one section of it, however when I try to match the last keyframe of my orbit camera to the first keyframe of another Cine Camera Actor the position of the camera is completely different in the scene, so copy paste the keyframes didn't work so I also tried to transition using camera cuts but due to the change of position the transition looks terrible. Is there a way match the last keyframe of the orbit camera (Cine camera actor child of an empty actor) to a another Cine Camera Actor? thank you very much for your help

Hey , great video, I just don't understand how do you click on the actor object piloting the camera in order to obtain that orbit "aim" symbol for you to rotate the camera manually.

Hello! Could you give a tutorial on how to make the "HeroShot" sequence please? Thanks a lot!

I want the camera to do a full rotation, how do I do this? ive tried rotating it fully but insteaed I just get a 90* turn.

Hey great tutorial - makes sense - im using unreal 5.4 and is there a difference between the "actor" and "empty actor"? I can't place anything as a child of the actor. Thanks!

Great explained and Nice result 👍🏻

Do you know how to flip/invert camera view in UE5?

is there a reason my UE5 isnt showing convert to spwanable for my camera?

hi, i have a sequencer of animated car. and i attach the camera to the car, but the movement of the camera are too shaky. is there any way to create like a spring arm camera but attached to moving mesh (a speeding car). i've try create a blueprint actor and add a spring arm. when i added the BP to sequence and attached to car body it's still shaky. thank you

I can't see an option for empty actor, UE5.2

Use "Actor" instead

Im using an orbiting camera in a level sequencer without a controller. I have it orbiting some static animated characters. I also have the camera set up to switch to another camera orbiting another animated character via a widget button. When i go to the second camera with the second widget and clcik on the button to return to the first camera, it looks like the camera is zooming in on the characters. It does this for a few seconds then resets properly. Any tips? I have keep state selected in the timeline

If you can't see option "Movie Render Queue" in "Window", go to Edit -> Plugins and enable "Movie Render Queue" here. Restart Unreal. Enjoy

Thank's for that tutorial! Btw why 23,976 fps and not 24 fps?

That's the cinema standard and what hollywood shoots at, but 24 frames is just a mathematically simpler version.

Is using empty mandatory for longer rails with curves and bigger heights ? If I make rail larger as noted, using the current position on rail sllider, makes camera go much faster almost unusable vs defaut small size rail where slider works very gradaully on rail as expected. Is this a bug in 5.1.1, if not how to compensate for this behavior ? TY

Ahahahaha are you joking? Heroshot is just a custom name for default Cine Camera Actor

I wanted to rotate cam on it's own place not around any object it's not rotating it always play a reverse animation inthe end

i have a problem, when I launch the rendering, the camera does not go to the place I want, and it does not move, what can I do?

How did you solve it? I get the same issue.

@@caponeart3596 I actually keyframed the camera on the very first frame from its viewpoint where you want it when attached to the null. If i didn't keyframe the camera's position, it would jump back to 0 when I rendered it and would view underground. Hope this helps!

what is a "HeroShot"?

@JonJagsNee

Think of it like the big cinematic shot in a movie where all the heroes are in a line about to fight the big bad guy 💪🏻

everytime I save or atosave, my parented camera detach itself and snap to the ground level. It also happens when I hit render. can anyone help me?

@JonJagsNee

If that happens to you, go your camera in your level sequencer and in the + menu (for your camera) and add an attach modifier, then attach it to the null 😊

​@@JonJagsNee yes it works! I also find that in the attach menu, theres attach options so I check preserve current. Thanks!
