Unreal 5.7 introduces a new compositing system. This has a TON of new features we've been wanting for a long time including a better chroma keyer, easier to use compositing setup and the ability to handle shadows!
In this tutorial I cover setting up video in/out and a basic green screen composite. In Unreal 5.7 this process is completely different (and much simpler) than it was in earlier versions so I wanted to do a tutorial for it first.
