Hello, i am now to ue and i want to start making story based games on it, my question is how to make cutscenes. I know there is manitee, but how can i animate all caracters in cutscene like in gta5 examples:(GTA 5 Full Movie All Cutscenes - Grand Theft Auto 5 - YouTube). is there any way to animate caracters in unreal engine, is tehe any tutorial about it?
Hello Ingmar, i’m posting links to some tutorials about matinee, hope that helps 
this does not answer how to animate on the player character during cut scene and let the character to regain control after the cutscene
I hope this helps, but I have been searching for ways to do this as well for a little bit. I think you need to animate them on a separate software like Poser or Maya, and then import the character mesh with the animations. Then whenever you hit the cut-scene trigger you should play the animations you imported in real time…or at least that’s the way I would do it ya know?
Cutscenes are very time consuming thing, However Animating character in cutscenes to have a conversation or talk or walk around or stand up. You will need to look for a software that is compatable with UR. You can make the animation in the software and then import it to your character in your UR world. Then use the “cinematic” camera option (the bottom one in Cameras). Clip and short from different angles and don’t forget to change the animation if you need too! Enjoy!
