Switching from Tracked Camera to Virtual Camera

 

Hello, i'am an Axymmetri DE user.

Is there a way to have a transition and not a cut when switching from a tracked Camera to a virtual Camera ?


For example, I'd like to have my virtual camera position to match the selected tracked camera one and then transition to its predetermined position when switching from tracked -> virtual. 


Thank you !

Hi,

Depending on your needs and setup, a tracked camera with virtual camera movements might be enough for you: https://aximmetry.com/learn/tutorials/for-studio-operators/setting-up-virtual-sets-with-tracked-cameras/#additional-virtual-camera-movements 

If you need to use a Mixed Camera, then there is no setting in the Mixed Camera which would smooth the transition between camera Inputs. But you can set up a logic like this to do so:

This will smooth the transition from tracked cameras to virtual cameras, and smooth the transition between virtual cameras. You might want to do the same with the focus as with the FOV in the above screenshot.
Note that the transition between the billboards will be instant, as you can not see the tracked camera billboard from the virtual camera and vice versa. Also, the virtual camera billboard will not look at the camera while the transition is happening, to fix that, the Mixed camera compound has to be edited. If you want, I can write down how to do that, but it will be much more complex than the above logic.

Warmest regards,

If you recorded on video how to do it I would be very grateful!

I have a big problem with using a tracked camera (FreeD) and a static camera (virtual camera) in the same 3D scene. Please help me to solve the problem!

Hi Oleg,

Do you want to do what I did in my previous post's picture? Or do you even want the billboards to look at the camera while the transition is happening?

If you can give us more details about your project and what you want to achieve, then I can add this to our request list. And I can also probably provide a more fitting solution.

Warmest regards,
