Cutting between cameras and paths from a sequencer

 

Hello.

- I am attempting to cut between virtual cameras and camera paths from a sequencer so that I can line up my pre recorded green screen footage and program other pasts of my scene entirely in post.

I am using Aximmetry DE with an unreal scene so I understand I only have access to 3 virtual cameras.

Hi keaganbw,
The simplest way is putting the system into Playlist mode:


After that you can use the following pins to select the cameras and the paths externally:

with a setup similar to this:

On using the Sequencer please consult:

It also contains a part on dealing with controlling interger values.

hi keaganbw,

do you manage to get it to work? cuz i failed, i cant clearly understand how the sequence integer works on playlist cam. or maybe axi guy can enlight me? i do really need this to work next week, cuz i have a commercial project for this, and once i can make it work, i will continue to get a license to publish it to the client

and another thing, can i use other than VirtualCam_Unreal_A-B_Preview_3-Cam.xcomp for unreal projects in aximmetry?

Simply you need to prepare camera paths then you need to  create keyframes in Sequencer for your Sequence Integer module like this

this setup for Cam 1

Also you can create custom control board to control the sequencer for example

Did anyone make this work? Have the same problem but don't understand how to prepare the camera paths in Sequencer.

Hi Xaviprz,

With the Playlist Cam 1 Path input pin, you don't actually make the camera paths. Instead, it allows you to switch between the paths that are stored here:

However, since the original post, Aximmetry added input pins for virtual cameras to make camera paths with a Sequencer module:


Warmest regards,

How do you set a keyframe in the sequencer integer?

I've tried everything and I just can't create a keyframe in order to change the cam path!

Thanks
