render camera and image effects

[crimsonParticipant]

hi,

is it possible to have the different render cameras with independent image effects tied to the shot cameras?

i have separate looks for separate shots so wondering if this can be achieved?

Hello,

Right now, Image Effects attached to the master Render Camera are enabled across the whole cutscene length so that the whole cutscene has the same image effects applied instead of having to re-attach and copy-paste image effect settings across all camera shots, all the time and whenever a change is needed, which is what other Unity sequencers do and is quite painful to manage.
Your case is a bit different though and you can if you want, use a Property Track in the Director Group to enable/disable or even animate Image Effects across the timeline.

A possible feature that comes in mind for the future based on your use case, would be to have a list of the image effects in the Camera Shot inspector to selectively set per-shot, which effects would be enabled in that specific shot. I will certainly take a look at this feature.

Let me know if using a Property Track in the Director Group to animate & enable/disable image effects work for you, as well as if the above suggested future feature would be something you would like to have. 🙂
Thanks

thank you,

having one render camera is indeed great. sometimes though, its quite possible to have a need for totally different looks within a cutscene.
i have to yet try property track but i think it may be fiddly to manage larger amounts of effects

perhaps one could choose to either use the shot camera effects or have the render camera override any “shot” effects.
tbh im splitting these different looking shots into separate scenes. its less fiddly that way due to the way the scene is setup.

thank you for your suggestion.

@Gavalakis
can you explaine please step by step how to enable/disable camera effects in the Property Track

what I did
1- I disabled one camera effect component in the render Camera
2- in Slate I ctreated a Property Track then under child I choosed that component and set it to enabled.
but the thing is it keeps staying disabled cannot even check/uncheck the little box

Hello jedizinar,

Are you using the latest version of Slate 1.65? because the problem you are facing (components disabled automatically) was an issue back in 1.4, that is though fixed in later versions of Slate.

Thanks.

Yes I think I do

Hello again,

I think I found the cause of this. Sorry about that.
Can you please enable AutoKey button on the top left of the editor and see if it will allow you to toggle on/off the box, and a keyframe added correctly? Please let me know if that will work.
I will fix this as soon as possible.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi unfortunately it did not help

[GavalakisKeymaster]

Hello again,
I am really sorry but I’ve missed your reply completely! :/
Can you very please share a gif or screenshot of what seems to not be working, so that I can help you better. Maybe you are misunderstanding some functionality, but maybe of course it’s a bug (which I unfortunately can’t replicate though if that’s the cae).
This free gif software is great for these things if you decide to to so.

Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
