Cinemachine Camera Offset

To shift the shot without changing the behaviors that position and aim the camera, add the Cinemachine Camera Offset extension.

The extension applies a final positional offset to the camera, in camera space.

You can shift the camera before or after noise takes effect.

Properties

The Cinemachine Camera Offset component contains the following properties.

Property Description
Offset Sets the amount to offset the camera's position, in camera space. The default is (0, 0, 0).
Apply After Sets the stage of the Cinemachine pipeline after which Cinemachine applies the offset. The options are:
  • Body: Applies the offset after the position control behavior positions the camera.
  • Aim: Applies the offset after the rotation control behavior rotates the camera, but before Cinemachine applies noise. This is the default.
  • Noise: Applies the offset after Cinemachine applies noise.
  • Finalize: Applies the offset after all standard Cinemachine Camera processing is complete.
Preserve Composition Re-adjusts the aim after applying the offset, to preserve the screen position of the Look At target as much as possible. This property has an effect only when Apply After is set to Aim, Noise, or Finalize, and the Cinemachine Camera has a Look At target. By default, the Tracking Target serves as the Look At target.

If you use one of the behaviors that runs the Aim stage before the Body stage, for example Cinemachine Position Composer, the following applies:

  • If you set Apply After to Aim, Cinemachine applies the offset before it positions the camera.
  • If you set Apply After to Body, Cinemachine applies the offset after it positions and rotates the camera.
