- Cinematic Depth of Field in Unreal Engine enables you to simulate real-world photographic depth-of-field effects that blur a scene based on the distance in front of, or behind, a focal point. It's not only high-quality and highly performant, it's also easy to use.
In this Unreal Tips & Tricks video, we'll briefly discuss the basic operation of a camera and show how the real-world camera settings are implemented in Unreal Engine. We'll then look at how to add a cinematic camera to the scene and go over the filmback, focus, and lens settings, as well as explaining how to tweak those settings to achieve the required look, including bokeh effects. Finally, we'll see how you can easily visualize your focal plane.

An entire beginner photography course compressed in 5 minutes and better explained. Give a raise to this man!
As a photographer you can imagine how glad i am you guys have implemented this
Thank you!
Thanks Mate!
Great tut! Thank you!
Hey @Unreal Engine team !
Thanks for these tutorial series ; as a professionnal Cinematic Artist, i'm looking for a way to tweak the bokeh shape into something that looks more like an anamorphic oval. I've tried the "Advanced Depth of Field shape", but that does not seem to have any effect on my bokeh. Any tips on that ? :)
Increase the squeeze factor (in your camera settings) up to 2
@@PROinteresting in UE4 that seemed to have no effect at all, but i haven't tried yet in UE5 🙂
Could this tool be used for gameplay purposes as well? i.e used as a dslr simulator?
That's cool. Well presented. Please create a workflow for mixed reality using the HTC vive tracker. I'm encouraging my students integrate the system into their video projects. We are not in competition with the larger companies that are using tracking systems we can not afford. Unleash mixed reality for the lower end Unreal user.
Great topic idea for a future episode. Can't promise when you might see it, but I'll add it to our list of future topics for sure!
Thanx
MATT! Dude, good to hear you doing tutorials! You ever coming back to LA?
Hopefully. :) I haven't heard anything lately, but I'm sure I'll do some more teaching there again.
We hired Spitzer as a permanent instructor, but as you know we're SO short on instructors. I'm even becoming one! Guess I'd better have my suitcase on standby. As you know they FLY YOU EVERYWHERE LOL.
Is this scene downloadable somewhere?
@@SeanLake3D Unfortunately no. It's something I grabbed from TurboSquid.
No worries.
I'm having trouble with rendering motion blur from sequencer in 4.25. In viewport I see the motion blur just fine but the movie renders without it
Me too and nobody knows... :(
depth of field is not working for me. Nothing. What I need to do?
How to make a tile shift effect using Cinematic Depth? Since GaussianDOF has been removed from the engine.
На ютюбе был неплохой видос как сделать этот эффект

im seeing alot of posts about DOF not working through translucent materials. My scene is 100% translucent materials, is there a way to get the DOF to work properly?
I have been trying to do this simply tutorial, but for some reason when I change the aperture (and I did many tries), nothing changes with the camera, there is simply no depth of field. Any idea why when moving the aperture the result its not visible? thanks
It probably depends on your focal distance then. Make sure Depth of Field>Focal Distance is enabled and mess around with both the Aperture and Focal Distance.
IMHO I don't like the new DOF in Unreal, I'm really not getting the results I desire.
I'm using UE5 with a side-scroller template, there is no "Method" option in Lens. There is only 3 fields. There is also not this "method" option under post-processing, nor in postprocessing volume. Please advise. Thank you.
Hey Matt, you wouldn't by any chance have this project anywhere?
4.26, the depth of field options are missing. Are they moved?
good
When I update to 4.25 and using this method everything in DOF started to flickering,extremly for meshes using mask material,totally unusable
Im looking to achieve a focal range rather than a focal plane. I have achieved a good focal plane for our hero object. But client wants background character blurred with foreground hero object clear. Problem is that the podium that the hero object sits on is slightly forward of hero object and is blurred. So i would live to achieve a range of focus (near and far) with everything behind blurred. Any ideas?
i loved this serie i noticed u created a new playlist on the channel for ir. how often Will u update this?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply. We'll be updating this weekly for the most part.
Is there a way for the focal plane to automatically change to whatever object is being looked at the crosshairs or specific section of your screen? So whatever you are targeting is clear but everything else gets a blur?
Adjust the focus distance / focal length
@@RobotronSage Yes, I am asking is there a way for that to occur automatically.
Is there a way to disable DOF completel
FPS looks totally playable!
Sorry about the frame rate issue in the intro. I was recording at 15fps with screen cap software and playing back in the editor, so it wasn't a smooth framerate. I'll try to improve upon that in future episodes.
I'll like to use cinecamera. but this cam can't be animate in matinee. please implement float track for cinecam in matinee
Matinee outdated. Use Sequencer
gotcha. thanks
@@KellerMaks gotcha. thanks
dont know why such easy stuff becomes so complex....I try to add depth in third-person controller camera, and the way it works is just take guess and load game change number and guess again....
What I'd do is select the character in your world (place a temporary one if you don't have it spawned yet), which should show a small preview of the camera's point of view in the bottom corner of the viewport. Then open your character blueprint and drag the window over so you can see the preview on your editor viewport. It should adjust in real-time as you change the values.

if only it worked properly with translucent materials/objects :c
And mirrors/reflective materials
It does, in your materials look for Render after DOF. If you turn that off it will should look as it should. I think it is a general optimization that is turned on in every translucent material on default.
@@Unearthlywhales Nope. What that does is it uses the depth of what's behind the translucent object. So, sure, it might work okay if the material is really clear, but if for example it's a dirty window, all that dirt, smudges etc. will look way too blurred, like it's aaalll the way in the distance.
@@ShainAnimations Ah oke yeah that's possible, I haven't tried it in that situation yet so don't know on how it looks in that scenario. Good to keep in mind though, thanks.
That material of windows should be turned off "Render after DOF"
oh so its just like photography not bad.
I won’t lie at the beginning I thought that was real life until I saw the mannequin
I wish someone to add an option or mod to Horizon Zero Dawn PC to disable depth of field...
So basically I cant have close FOD without also having far DOF. This sucks.
i hate when theres a picture that is not in the video -.- its click bait
You have tutorial series not know why you have made this the video
To draw in more people obviously.
low sound.
Please Translate Leguea Indonesian
Interesting tech, but the most annoying and useless feature in gaming ever.
What, DOF?
Un4 help me I need a full battle Royale tutorial with coding.
