HANDHELD FOUND FOOTAGE in UE5 | Unreal Engine 5 VIRTUAL CAMERA Setup

Found footage and analogue horror is a fantastic genre for storytelling, and with unreal engine 5 producing interesting horror content has never been easier. In this video I demonstrate how to really elevate your camerawork by using Virtual Cameras paired to an iPad or iPhone, allowing for actual handheld camera tracking. To demonstrate this, we return to the backrooms and infinite liminal libraries maps to get some shots. Thanks for watching!

It's incredible, I'm amazed by this technique, I don't know if it exists but imagined a virtual camera in VR

[@tkkd363]

super cool, this may be one of the new expression in 3D GUI.

[@tcraiford]

Easy to follow tutorial. Any idea if there’s a way to smooth out the movement a little so it still feels handheld but doesn’t have so much jitter?

[@DrakeMakes]

Thanks! The footage captured in this video was the raw input, I believe using the take recorder you can adjust and smooth the camera motion in sequencer. I’m still messing around with this myself, best of luck to you! :)

[@chucknovak]

Dude. I've thought about trying to figure out how to add real camera shake using VR and tracking a controller for the camera. I don't really know anything about how to set that up, but I was just thinking about how would be the optimal way to add camera shake for Backrooms videos.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial dude, This is awesome work, I have a quick question that you may know an easy answer to, Using the Horror Engine or without it, How can i make this as quest, for example, You come across a camera and then it brings... say a widget on screen(that i know how to do) how to interact with it and the player then has to connect there device to walk through the rest of the map and then gets to the end and the user stops using the device and carrys on as normal, does that make sense. Lol 😆

Awsome, do you know if is possible to tracking using my head with iphone camera to make a parallax view effect?...example, I have one box (static) opened with elements inside and I´d like make a parallax view with my head moviment, you know?

[@AxPlayOn]

I have been trying to get this to work forever but my phone just wont connect

[@sotal6009]

Thanks for this nice tutorial So the shaking mode not good if we connect chromakey cam for composition? Did you try it?

[@DrakeMakes]

Glad you enjoyed! I have not tried anything with chromakey cameras

[@hermanator123]

Very nice tutorial! I tried get virtual cam work on 5.1 but struggling to get it work. Have you got it working within 5.1? All the best

[@DrakeMakes]

I have not tried out virtual cameras in 5.1 yet- I will be doing more vcam work and will look into this :)

[@ProdLilMF]

Is this possible to add to my character?

[@Iuvfortnite]

Can this work with a walking animation

[@rogerchris6538]

If it possible to run in play mode? Cause animation only happens in play mode...

[@El_Zapatito]

how do i do it on android?

[@ghostofakina8747]

Thanks for the video! The movement speed seems too slow when you walk with the camera, is there a way to increase this?

[@DrakeMakes]

The reason it can feel slow is due to the environment being at a larger scale than my recording space. Rescale and take larger steps :)

[@MagmaProductionsYT]

I felt slow in my environment as well. All I did was scale up the camera, and it worked like a charm.

[@no_damage]

tried it on the iphone 14 and ipad and wouldn't show in my bus source.

[@thorggn3992]

That looks too real!

[@imjusttellingstories1688]

this will work with iphone 10?great tutorial

[@DrakeMakes]

Thank you! I believe an iPhone 10 is compatible with the VCAM app 👍

[@imjusttellingstories1688]

@@DrakeMakes Tnx mate

[@Ai_Falcon]

Is there an android version? or another app that does the same job?

[@ferdinandw.8952]

i dont think so.

[@soncho.editz1]

Nope just IOS

[@iCakeMen]

There is now, it's called Unreal VCam

[@MasterOPillows]

Im able to see my viewport on my phone but the camera is not moving? please help

[@virpix5224]

how do i export the footage

[@txrdrop_]

Sur Android ? Il y a une application qui peut fonctionner ? Svp

[@vaporboard]

Its been 7 hours and I dont know how to make a realistic handheld camera animation walking.

[@txrdrop_]

Quelle est ta carte graphique ? Je vois que tu n'as pas beaucoup de fps, moi j'ai une rtx 4060, i4 11tg gen, quelle carte graphique as-tu ,

[@Breh.]

Where is the console

[@Dab-studios]

I wish it could be used no unreal engine needed

[@anujpartihar]

For the love of god is their any way to actually do this on an android device? I've been wanting to get started with virtual camera in game engines since forever but I simply cannot just because there is no android alternative! This is so incredibly stupid I cannot afford an iphone what exactly is so special about ios that it cannot be done in android?? I'm just stumped...

[@kendarr]

F*ck I don't have access to anything IOS and the android app is terribly expensive. Tracking it is!

Great work! Curious what you think of our virtual camera, DragonFly -- check us out at www.GlassboxTech.com
