My question is two-fold:
Do I need any external or 3rd party software to bring something like what’s in that “ELEMENTAL DEMO” (- YouTube) video to life?
When I am ready to export, can I export the CGI animation scene directly out of UE4? and do I have the option to fully customize the fps in the export, like to 23.976?
Thanks in advance for your time
you dont need a third party software but its better to export as an image series and composite in other software.
try blackmagic fusion, its free.
you can set the preferred framerate but unreal rounds the numbers off, so you will end up with 24fps.
Thanks @KillingWord. Do you know the link to download blackmagic fusion and will it work on Mac? When you mention image series, is that like a gif, where the animation is produced by a series of still images played consecutively? I’m new to this. Thanks a bunch

hi dave,
here is the link
most people render out image series in a more lossless format.(tiff or png)
when rendering out, these images are automatically numbered, and when you import them into fusion, it again recognizes that its dealing with an image series. it plays back as any video.
fwiw, any video is produced by a series of consecutive frames, but gif is a web only format with horrible compression and quality to size ratio.
