Do you dream of creating stunning cinematic game trailers like the pros?
In this course, you'll learn step-by-step how to craft high-quality, action-packed cinematics entirely inside Unreal Engine 5 — even if you're new to it!
We'll start from the basics: mastering Unreal Engine’s Sequencer and Cameras, learning how to control shots, timing, and animation. Then, we'll dive into cinematic slow-motion bullet effects, character animations, blood and impact particles, and realistic hit and death reactions to build intense, movie-like action scenes.
But we won't stop there.
You'll also create a fully functional tank from scratch — building the vehicle class, setting up animation blueprints, rotating turrets, recording real gameplay animation using the Take Recorder, and adding realistic physics-based effects for a lifelike cinematic feel. We'll even attach a character to the tank for full immersion!
You’ll learn to:
Set up tank movement and turret control
Create tank firing effects with shockwaves, camera shakes, and reusable cinematic shots
Master multiple camera angles for the same scene to make your trailer visually dynamic
Use the Movie Render Queue with advanced console variables to render high-quality final videos
