Class CinemachineFramingTransposer

This is a Cinemachine Component in the Body section of the component pipeline. Its job is to position the camera in a fixed screen-space relationship to the vcam's Follow target object, with offsets and damping.

The camera will be first moved along the camera Z axis until the Follow target is at the desired distance from the camera's X-Y plane. The camera will then be moved in its XY plane until the Follow target is at the desired point on the camera's screen.

The FramingTansposer will only change the camera's position in space. It will not re-orient or otherwise aim the camera.

For this component to work properly, the vcam's LookAt target must be null. The Follow target will define what the camera is looking at.

If the Follow target is a ICinemachineTargetGroup, then additional controls will be available to dynamically adjust the camera's view in order to frame the entire group.

Although this component was designed for orthographic cameras, it works equally well with persective cameras and can be used in 3D environments.

If checked, movement along the Y axis will be ignored for lookahead calculations

Declaration

public bool m_LookaheadIgnoreY

m_LookaheadSmoothing

Controls the smoothness of the lookahead algorithm. Larger values smooth out jittery predictions and also increase prediction lag

Declaration

public float m_LookaheadSmoothing

Field Value

Type	Description
System.Single

m_LookaheadTime

This setting will instruct the composer to adjust its target offset based on the motion of the target. The composer will look at a point where it estimates the target will be this many seconds into the future. Note that this setting is sensitive to noisy animation, and can amplify the noise, resulting in undesirable camera jitter. If the camera jitters unacceptably when the target is in motion, turn down this setting, or animate the target more smoothly.
