Getting Started with Unreal Engine and Remote Control API
summary
Enables the Remote Control API plugin, creates a Remote Control Preset and exposes properties to a built-in Web App or any HTTP client (Postman) using JSON REST endpoints, or via the C++ API. Shows live OSC bindings and MIDI/DMX support, binding a virtual fader to cine camera focal length and swapping team logos/colors with no Blueprints. Introduces logic controllers (conditional behaviors, masking) in UE5.1 and a Render Grid asset that batches Movie Render Queue jobs; demos work end-to-end.
