Cinemachine Volume Settings Extension

Use the Cinemachine Volume Settings extension to attach an HDRP/URP VolumeSettings profile to a CinemachineCamera.

The Cinemachine Volume Settings extension holds a Volume Settings Profile asset to apply to a CinemachineCamera when it is activated. If the camera is blending with another CinemachineCamera, then the blend weight is applied to the Volume Settings effects also.

To add a Volume Settings profile to a CinemachineCamera

  1. Select your CinemachineCamera in the Scene view or Hierarchy window.

  2. In the Inspector, choose Add Extension > CinemachineVolumeSettings, then configure the Profile asset to have the effects you want when this CinemachineCamera is live.

Note

In some cases, particularly when blending to and from empty profiles, you might get a sudden change or pop in the effects. If this happens, the best solution is to avoid blending to and from empty profiles by adding effects with default settings. If this is not practical, then you can add CINEMACHINE_TRANSPARENT_POST_PROCESSING_BLENDS to your project's scripting defines. However, this has the side effect of making postprocessing blends more transparent in their center, possibly revealing global effects behind them.
