Unreal Engine 5.5 – The Ultimate Cinematic Masterclass | Udemy

Welcome to Unreal Engine 5.5: The Ultimate Cinematic Masterclass—the first in a powerful 5-part course series designed to teach you everything you need to know about professional cinematic creation using Unreal Engine.

Whether you’re an aspiring filmmaker, game developer, 3D artist, or complete beginner, this course will guide you step by step through the full cinematic pipeline—from the first blockout to the final color correction. No previous experience is required—just a passion for storytelling and creativity.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

• Get started with Unreal Engine 5.5 and set up your cinematic project
• Block out levels and build immersive environments using 3D assets
• Animate characters and master Retargeting techniques for realistic movement
• Create high-impact visual effects using Niagara particle systems
• Utilize Chaos destruction for dynamic, cinematic sequences
• Prepare and animate scenes inside the Sequencer, covering 15–16 full scenes
• Export and finalize your cinematic in After Effects with clean color correction and polish

By the end of this course, you’ll have created a complete cinematic from scratch, gaining a deep understanding of Unreal Engine’s cinematic tools and a real-world workflow you can use in your own projects.

But this is just the beginning.

If you’ve ever dreamed of creating your own high-end cinematic experiences, this is your starting point. Let’s build something incredible—together.

And don’t worry if you’re using an older version of Unreal Engine 5—everything we cover in this course works just fine in earlier 5.x versions too, also 5.6 is fine.
