sequence camera to a tracked cam position

 

Hello Aximmetry


I wonder if below is possible to configure.


- preset sequence camera with Sequencer+ Camera mover (for some nice intro)

- locate tracked cam to a position and don't move

- capture the position data 

- play Sequencer and make final destination to the captured position

- when sequencer is done, switch to tracked cam


I saw this kind of operation by some other rendering server and it looks quite interesting.

If you know how to implement it, please share your idea for us.

Thanks

I would just make two cameras, first one being the animated one and the second one being the tracked one and then blend between them right when they are at the same position.

Hi DeataProduction


Thanks for your comment.

Here I like to know the way of "capturing current tracked cam position" AND "applying it onto Sequence Camera's end position" instantly.

Hi Brucekim,

Sadly, you can not edit a Sequence's keys with the flow graph or record a tracked camera's transform into the sequencer. You have to manually copy-paste the values for the key in the sequence.

You could do however what DeataProduction says, and you could even control the transition from sequenced camera to tracked camera in the sequencer:

This would need no recording of the tracked camera position, you could even move the camera a bit while the transition happens, hence it is less error-prone.

Warmest regards,

Ah.. OK.

Thanks for you and Deataproduction's comment!

It helps for my application.
