Welcome!
Hi, I'm using UE 5.4.4 - I bought Vintage Film, I have Cinematographer PRO installed and enabled. I try to find the Vintage Film Slot, but apparently it isn't there? Then also in the folder here inside of UE, the demo folder is empty. But when I check in Windows Explorer I can see "Level_Demo_VintageFilm.umap". So that doesn't show in the engine. Any help would be nice! Thank you
Hey Nicolas,
thanks for getting in contact and the screenshot!
Well that is very strange! The Vintage Film slot should be visible and the demo level should also show.
Did you make sure, that Engine Version, Cinematographer Pro and Vintage Film are in their newest update in the Epic Games Launcher? Also what Platform are you on?
I can definitely confirm that all of this should work in 5.4.x.
Hi, thanks for your reply. I had to click on the "installed plugins" message below the Engine launch button. And indeed there I had to update the plugin. I assumed all needed updates will show in my library, but that seems only the case for assets, not plugins. That's why I didn't see it.
So after installing the update I can see the Vintage Film Slot now. But no luck with the demo folder. The UE 5.4.4 is up to date and verified again. I read online that if uasset files are created in a newer UE version than a older one can't read the files. Not sure if that is the issue here.
I used now the High_End_Cinecamer_preset and manually tried some filters. I added the filter in the "Post Process Materials Section" to the already existing Arrays of the Cine Cam Preset. Then it works. But I assume it costs performance if I leave all the Array elements in there and add a filter on top of it. So I tried to remove the Array Elements of this Cine Cam preset, but then when there is lighting striking in Ultra Dynamic Sky the filter gets removed for some reason and it defaults kind of back to the standard Cine setup. I do care about performance, so for cleanless reasons I'd like to get the Presets working on the demo cam you provide with the plugin. I also tried to remove all Array elements from the High End Cine Preset and add then the filter via the Vintage Film Slot. But then the Engine crashes every time.
But nice looking filters! They add a lot of atmosphere, so I hope I can get a clean working solution. Or if you tell me how to create a Cam from scratch then this could also work. Then I probably don't need the demo files.
Thanks, Nicolas
