Playback of Tracking + Captured Video

Development Cinematics & Media
1

Hi folks, I’m pretty new to UE4 realtime VFX workflows, and I’m pouring through all of the documentation and tutorial videos, but I’ve hit a snag.

We are capturing tracking data from the Stype RedSpy using the take recorder, which is working great. Now I have that data in Sequencer, and it plays back perfectly. Now, I want to make changes to the lighting and textures of the level, but I want to be able to overlay the video captured from the camera synchronized with the recorded tracking data in the sequencer.

I can see that there is a Media source for the sequencer timeline, and I can get my footage on the sequencer timeline… but… now what? I found some documentation that shows how to use the Media track to play back video/image sequences as a media texture, such as on a plane appearing in the scene, but how do I just go about getting that media source to just play in my viewport overlaid with the realtime scene?

If you have the stype red spy Recording Instructions pdf, i think it details how to deal with media and playing back recorded sequences. You have to change the stpyetracking component (in the camera) to Playback first.

can you explain to me how did you received data from stype HF red spy to unreal engine?
