Virtual Production 101 | How to put yourself in Unreal
After the first video I released about Virtual Production, a lot of people asked me to make a full tutorial on the entire process... so I did!
In this video, I show you the complete process of how I go about keying out my background in After Effects, setting up my scene in Unreal, matching color and lighting using Blueprints, export using Sequencer, and aligning the exported video to the original audio in Premiere.
This method is very finicky and a bit can change from project to project (dependent on computer speed and project size) so don't get discouraged if your clip isn't coming out perfectly using my export settings. Keep tweaking them until it looks right and let me know what settings worked best for you.
I understand that this video is both very slow and long, so please feel free to skip through to the parts that interest you most.
