Hey there - I’ve been sticking with Unreal Engine 5.6 for cinematics because of one key change made in Unreal 5.7+
When using LookAt tracking in a CineCameraActor, the camera aims to keep the target in the exact center of the image. But oftentimes, you’ll want to rotate the camera slightly up, down, left, right etc.
You were able to do this in all versions of Unreal prior by changing the CameraComponent inside of the CineCameraActor. This served as a simple offset to absolutely nail your composition and camera, but it seems like this no longer works in Unreal 5.7+. If you try to adjust the rotation of the component inside once LookAt tracking is enabled, it simply doesn’t allow you to change the rotation, locking you into center-framing on your offset.
Has anyone found a solution for this or is there a clean way to modify the engine to keep the original behavior of CineCameraActors? This is something I use in 75% of my shots so I’ve been using to Unreal 5.6 for a while. Cheers!
