Cinecamera Actors transform properties changing?

Hi everyone,
I have a slightly irritatiing issue which I have not been able to figure out. It might be a bit tricky to explain but try to bare with me…

I am somewhat new to UE5. But I am using it for my masters course and had to do a camera fly-through shot for my project. I followed THIS tutorial (from 23:35). Simple to follow and does what I need

However, what I kept noticing would happen is as I move and rotate my camera through the scene and keyframe it, the rotation/pan/yaw settings would go back and apply to all the previous keyframe points - putting all those previously set up shows out of postion. In some instances, the camera would be hugely offset from the origin position point?

I have looked around and can’t find anything related to this.

I am almost certain I am doing something small or stupid which I am not noticing. Does anyone know what I could be doing to cause this?

All I do is move camera to postion, set keyframe. Move to new position, rotate as I need, set key frame, etc etc and will do this over the course of a camera show in the sequencer… But as I have said, randomly thorugh this process, all previous keyframes would be editted to have the rotation/pitch settings of the most recent keyframe…

Who wants to crown themesleves as lead detective on this one?!

Hey, it’s VERY difficult to know what you’re doing.

Can you post a video of yourself making a very simple flyby so we can see what you’re doing? It’ll save a LOT of time in helping you.

The video should be about a minute, so if it takes you longer than that, make sure to spend a small amount of time editing the video.

I will try and superficially recreate the issue. I was against the clock and ended up redoing the camera work until I got it to work as I wanted to. Which is good in the respect I managed to finish my project… But not good in the sense that it still happens intermittently.

But I totally understand what you mean. It’s such a specific issue that I know it’s going to be hard to troubleshoot. Will try to get a short video!

No idea what’s going on but the issue happened again. I know it’s becasue im doing something stupid becasue im not attempting anything complicated here…

Yet the issue plagues me :frowning:

Why does it do this??? The origin just offsets drastically. I didnt touch the origin properties at all

The two photos you shared showed me the sequence in two different timestamps/frames. They don’t match up so I have no point of reference.

That’s why I suggested posting a video of the issue, otherwise I’d have to extrapolate your thought process and workflow.

Think of it like this: unless you understand the platform well, there’s no way you’ll be able to sufficiently explain an issue on your own.

So, video, please.
