Camera tracking data latency needs a specific XR/AR license.

Here we are looking at the VFX output of Smode with On Air enabled

If the camera rotates and the extension mask detaches from the camera video input

  • In the first case the tracking data is faster like this :

VideoLate VideoLate

You’ll need to add delay to the Link To Tracker of the camera to re-sync the video with the Tracking Data

  • In the second case the tracking data is slower like this:

DataLate DataLate

You’ll first need to check with the people who set up the tracking system, if they haven’t added any delay (if yes they’ll need to remove it)

You should never use negative numbers and / or placement smoothing for tracker camera

If you can not find any way to make the tracking data faster you will need to add delay to your Video input

But be careful with this because the delay you added to your video input will need to be added to the delay of the back and front in the VFX processor

After adjusting the delay and latency you will have this result
