Hello  
I’m trying to render this shot but it turns out that when the camera moves, we can see a kind of shadow trace that takes the shape of the object.  
I have difficulty to understand where it can come from

we can see the traces in the red rectangle on YT :

I’m still starting with unreal if anyone has an idea 🙂
