These docs describe Fixed Angles and Blendshot, the next update, in development: everything in 1.3 and what it adds. 1.3 is in testing: read its docs.

Camera preset settings

Every setting on a camera preset's panel, band by band, in the panel's own words: what each does and what a new one starts at.

Every setting on a camera preset's panel, in the order the panel shows them. Generated from Blendable Fixed Angles and Blendshot (1.4.0, in development) in Unreal Engine 5.8.3, so it lists exactly what that version has. For what the settings add up to, read The claim ladder.

The Camera#

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Default Rig	The rig the camera starts on and returns to. Optional: leave it empty and the camera uses the Default Settings below, so it works as soon as it's on a pawn.	none
Default Settings › Pivot Socket	Bone or socket the rig hangs from. Empty pivots on the actor origin.	none
Default Settings › Pivot Mesh	Which skeletal mesh the Pivot Socket is on: one handed over under this name with Set Pivot Mesh, else one with this component tag, else one with this component name. Empty uses the character's mesh. For a body with its own first-person mesh, name that mesh here so the camera sits on its eyes rather than on the third-person body's.	none
Default Settings › Pivot Offset	Offset from the pivot, in its local space. This is the point the camera hangs from and turns around, and the point Where On Screen places, so raising it sits the character lower in frame. First person sits exactly here.	X 0, Y 0, Z 50
Default Settings › Pivot Lag Speed	How quickly the camera keeps up with the character as they move. Higher follows more tightly; 0 follows rigidly with no lag at all.	14
Default Settings › Vertical Follow (x)	How quickly the camera follows the character up and down, as a share of Pivot Lag Speed. 1 follows height like everything else; lower lets a jump or a step happen without the camera bobbing after it, which suits a side-on camera. From 0.01 to 2.	1
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Enabled	Turns follow lag on. Off, the camera keeps pace with the character at every speed.	off
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Only Fall Behind In Depth	On, the camera only falls behind along the way it's looking, so the character keeps their place on screen and just gets further away. Off, it falls behind in every direction, so a sideways sprint also carries them across the frame.	off
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Lag Starts Above	The speed, in cm/s, above which the camera starts to fall behind. Below it the camera keeps up, so a walk never lags.	250
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Full Lag At	The speed, in cm/s, at which the camera hangs back the most. Between here and Lag Starts Above it eases.	600
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Follow Speed When Lagging	How closely the camera follows at full lag. The lower it is compared with Pivot Lag Speed, the further the character pulls ahead. The same as Pivot Lag Speed means no lag at all.	4
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Most They Get Ahead (cm)	The furthest the character can get ahead of the camera, in cm. At this distance the camera holds steady for as long as they keep running; it doesn't hurry back in.	120 cm
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Catch-Up Speed	How fast the camera closes the gap once the character slows below Lag Starts Above. Low settles slowly, high closes the gap briskly.	18
Default Settings › Pivot Lag › Caught Up Within (cm)	How close the camera must get, in cm, before it counts as caught up and goes back to normal following.	20 cm
Default Settings › Keeps Its Distance	Keeps the character at least Closest from the camera when they come towards it: the camera backs away with them, easing, rather than letting them fill the screen. Off, a sprint at the camera with Follow Lag on can bring them right up to the lens. A wall behind the camera still brings it in.	off
Default Settings › Closest (cm)	The nearest the character comes before the camera backs away with them, in cm: at 160 a 220 cm arm lets them run 60 cm in, and no more. Above the arm, the camera simply keeps pace.	160 cm
Default Settings › Backs Away At	How briskly the camera backs off once they're nearer than Closest: 8 takes back most of it in a quarter of a second, 2 drifts back over a second or so. At least 0.1.	8
Default Settings › Never Nearer Than (cm)	However fast they come, never nearer than this, in cm: the camera holds them there outright. 0 leaves it to the easing alone.	110 cm
Default Settings › Gives Way Over (cm)	How far before Closest the camera starts giving way, in cm, so it eases into backing off rather than starting all at once: 30.	30 cm
Default Settings › Only When Clear	Stands aside while collision is bringing the camera in, so near a wall, a shelf or a doorway the camera does just what it would without Keeps Its Distance, and holds the distance again, eased back in, once the way behind it has been clear for a moment. Off, it holds the distance against walls too.	on
Default Settings › Stands Aside From (cm)	How far collision has to bring the camera in before Only When Clear stands the hold aside, in cm: brushing the edge of a post or a door frame takes a few centimetres and doesn't count. 20 lets a 220 cm arm lose a tenth first.	20 cm
Default Settings › Pivot Damping	How smoothly the camera follows the character's position, and whether it keeps up with a moving character instead of trailing behind. One of the damper channels below.	as new
Default Settings › Composition › Enabled	Places the character on screen using the settings below. Off, the camera sits straight behind them with nothing moving them about, which suits first person. Rigs at or under the follow camera's First Person Arm Threshold count as off whatever this says.	on
Default Settings › Composition › Where On Screen (%)	Where the character sits on screen, in percent: X across (0 left, 50 middle, 100 right) and Y down (0 top, 100 bottom). 35, 55 is a classic over-the-shoulder framing; set it for the right shoulder and a shoulder swap mirrors it. It holds at any arm length, lens and pitch. From 0 to 100.	X 50, Y 50
Default Settings › Composition › Free Drift (%)	How far the character can wander from their spot before the camera follows, in percent of the screen either side, so 8 makes a box sixteen percent wide. Too small and the camera chases every twitch; too large and the character visibly drifts before anything happens. From 0 to 50.	X 8, Y 10
Default Settings › Composition › Full Strength At (%)	How far from the spot, in percent, the camera reaches full follow strength. Between Free Drift and this it eases in, so following starts gently; bigger is gentler, and setting it equal to Free Drift makes following start all at once. From 0 to 100.	X 30, Y 28
Default Settings › Composition › Catch-Up Speed	How quickly the camera catches up once the character leaves the Free Drift. 2 is unhurried, like an operator noticing; 10 is brisk and feels locked on.	4
Default Settings › Composition › Max Camera Move (cm)	How far the camera may move sideways or up and down to put the character on their spot, in cm. Ask for a spot that needs more and the character lands short of it; the composition preview shows where they'll end up.	220 cm
Default Settings › Composition › Keep The Same Distance	Keeps the camera the same distance from the character however far sideways it slides, which stops the shot dipping in towards them halfway through a shoulder swap. Anything else that slides the camera then also moves it in and out, which can feel like a jolt, so only turn it on if you see the dip.	off
Default Settings › Composition › Looking Up	Moves the character while you look UP. Driven by how far above level you are looking, in degrees. One of the shifts below.	as new, but Driven By Control Pitch Up, Starts At 15, Full At 60, Move By (%) X 0, Y 0, Takes (s) 0 s
Default Settings › Composition › Looking Down	Moves the character while you look DOWN, by how far below level you're looking. A Move By of 0, -15 raises them fifteen percent of the screen as you look down, which lowers the camera and shows more of the ground without it climbing into the ceiling. One of the shifts below.	as new, but Driven By Control Pitch Down, Starts At 15, Full At 60, Move By (%) X 0, Y 0, Takes (s) 0 s
Default Settings › Composition › While Turning	Moves the character while you TURN. Driven by how fast you are turning, so a hard turn moves them into it. One of the shifts below.	as new, but Driven By Yaw Rate, Starts At 60, Full At 360, Move By (%) X 0, Y 0, Takes (s) 0.15 s
Default Settings › Composition › Looking Away From Travel	Moves the character while you look AWAY from where they are going. Driven by the angle between where you are looking and where they are running, in degrees. Look back over your shoulder mid-sprint and they slide aside so you can see past them. Starts At is how far round you may look before anything moves. One of the shifts below.	as new, but Driven By Yaw from Movement, Starts At 45, Full At 150, Move By (%) X 0, Y 0, Takes (s) 0.3 s
Default Settings › Composition › More Shifts	Anything else that should move the character: speed, crouch, aim, a low ceiling, falling, slope, a lock-on, a number from gameplay.	empty
Default Settings › Composition › Shift Limit (%)	The furthest all the shifts together can move the character from their spot, in percent of the screen on each axis. Pushes from gameplay count towards it too. From 0 to 50.	X 30, Y 30
Default Settings › Dynamic Framing	Eases the character back towards the middle of the frame when a wall pushes the camera in close, or when looking steeply up or down, so they don't slide out of shot.	on
Default Settings › Framing Arm Compensation	How much the framing moves back towards the middle as a wall pushes the camera in, 0 to 1. At 1, a camera pushed all the way in is fully centred. From 0 to 1.	1
Default Settings › Framing Pitch Compensation	How much the framing moves back towards the middle when looking steeply up or down, 0 to 1. From 0 to 1.	1
Default Settings › Arm Length	How far behind the character the camera sits, in cm. Around 150 is close over the shoulder, 350 a normal third-person view, 800 and up a wide shot. Collision can pull it in, but never pushes it further out.	350 cm
Default Settings › Auto Shoulder Probe Reach	Roughly how far off-centre the camera sits, in cm, which tells the auto shoulder how far out to the side to look for walls. If the camera is actually further out, it looks that far instead.	45 cm
Default Settings › Min Pitch	How far down the player may look, in degrees. The stick stops here. From -89 to 0.	-60°
Default Settings › Max Pitch	How far up the player may look, in degrees. From 0 to 89.	65°
Default Settings › FOV	How wide the lens is, in degrees. Around 60 is tight and flattening, 80 is a normal third-person view, 105 and up is wide and fast-feeling with noticeable distortion at the edges. From 5 to 170.	80°
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Manual Zoom	Whether the player can zoom this camera themselves.	off
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Zoom By	What zooming changes: the arm, as a gameplay camera does, or the lens, as a scope or binoculars do. A fixed camera always zooms its lens. Choices: Arm Length, Field Of View.	Arm Length
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Style	How it answers the wheel and the zoom buttons. Choices: Raw, Smoothed, Along A Curve, Stages, Stages, Looping.	Smoothed
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Widest (x)	The furthest out it goes, as a magnification: below 1 is further out than the camera's own arm or lens. From 0.1 to 1.	0.6
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Closest (x)	The furthest in it goes, as a magnification. From 1 to 12.	2
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Each Step	How far each turn of the wheel or press of a button zooms: a share of the magnification, or of the way along the curve. From 0.01 to 1.	0.15
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Glide Time (s)	Smoothed and Along A Curve: how long it takes to glide most of the way, in seconds. From 0 to 1.	0.15 s
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Curve	Along A Curve: from 0 the widest to 1 the closest, how the magnification goes as the wheel turns. Empty, evenly.	no curve
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Stages (x)	Stages: the magnifications it steps through, in order.	4 entries
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Between Stages	Stages: snap from one to the next, or ease. Choices: Snap, Ease.	Ease
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Ease Time (s)	Easing between stages: how long it takes, in seconds. From 0 to 1.	0.2 s
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Ease Curve	Easing between stages: its shape, from 0 to 1 over the change. Empty, easing in and out.	no curve
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Snap Effect	Snapping between stages: a Blendable FX effect to play as it snaps, when Blendable FX is in the project.	none
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Snap Under A Transition	Snapping between stages: play the effect as a transition and snap under its cover, rather than as an impact over the snap.	off
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › After A Wall	Zooming the arm: when a wall pulls the camera in, spring back out once it's gone, or come in with it and stay. Choices: Spring Back Out, Stay In.	Spring Back Out
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Starts At 1x	Back to 1x whenever this takes the shot, rather than keeping the zoom the camera had.	on
Default Settings › Manual Zoom › Reverse The Wheel	Turns the wheel round, for a player who'd rather roll it towards them to zoom in.	off
Default Settings › Do Collision Test	OFF: the camera passes through walls. On, it shortens the arm to stay out of them.	on
Default Settings › Collision Radius	How fat the camera is for collision, in cm. Bigger stops it further from walls and clips less.	20 cm
Default Settings › Arm Pull In Time	Roughly how long the camera takes to pull in when something gets in the way, in seconds. Keep it fast, so the camera never sits inside a wall.	0.01 s
Default Settings › Arm Relax Time	Roughly how long the camera takes to ease back out once the way is clear, in seconds. Usually slower than pulling in: popping back out looks worse than lingering close. Also paces the distance changes Pitch Response makes.	0.2 s
Default Settings › Arm Damping	How smoothly the camera moves in and out when collision changes its distance. Only Model has any effect, and only with Predictive Avoidance off. One of the damper channels below.	as new
Default Settings › Occlusion Min Time	How long something has to be in the way before the camera pulls in for it, in seconds, so railings, leaves and door frames that cross the view for a moment don't yank it in. 0 reacts straight away.	0 s
Default Settings › Auto Shoulder	Moves the camera to the other shoulder when a wall closes in on this side, without the player pressing anything.	off
Default Settings › Shoulder Response	Whether the camera jumps fully to the other shoulder, or slides across only as far as the wall pushes it. Choices: Swap (commit to the other shoulder), Slide (move across by wall distance).	Swap (commit to the other shoulder)
Default Settings › Auto Shoulder Pinch Distance	How close a wall has to get to the character on the camera's side, in cm, before the auto shoulder starts to react.	60 cm
Default Settings › Auto Shoulder Margin	How much more room, in cm, the other side needs before the camera moves over to it. Stops it flicking back and forth down a corridor.	40 cm
Default Settings › Auto Shoulder Manual Grace	After the player swaps shoulder by hand, how long the automatic swap waits before it can act again, in seconds.	2 s
Default Settings › Auto Shoulder Delay	How long the wall has to stay close before the camera swaps, in seconds, so brushing past a door frame or a pillar doesn't set it off. Swap only; Slide reacts straight away.	0.35 s
Default Settings › Auto Shoulder Blend Time	How long the camera takes to move across when the auto shoulder moves it, in seconds. A little slower than a manual swap usually feels better.	0.45 s
Default Settings › Gap Centring [EXPERIMENTAL]	[EXPERIMENTAL] In a doorway or alley, slides the camera sideways to line up with the middle of the gap instead of scraping along one side. With composition on it moves the framing through a Gap Room shift under More Shifts, or a full-strength one if the rig has none. Expect to tune Gap Whisker Spacing for your levels.	off
Default Settings › Gap Whisker Spacing	Sets how tight a space must be to count as a gap: walls on both sides within Gap Max Shift plus this, in cm. Too small and it misses gaps the camera is really clipping; too large and wide corridors count too. Around the camera's Collision Radius plus a little is a good start. At least 1.	45 cm
Default Settings › Gap Probe Radius	How thick gap centring's checks are, in cm.	10 cm
Default Settings › Gap Probe Length	How long the two side checks are, along the camera's line, in cm, which lets them keep hold of a door frame for longer. Raise it if the camera lets go of a gap too early on the way out; lower it if it holds on after the gap has gone.	60 cm
Default Settings › Gap Yaw Assist [EXPERIMENTAL]	[EXPERIMENTAL] Also turns the camera to point down the gap, which keeps it clear of the door frame on the way through. Off by default because it moves where the player is looking. Needs Use Probe Aiming on, and backs off the moment the player touches the stick.	off
Default Settings › Gap Yaw Max Angle	The most it will turn, in degrees; the sideways slide covers the rest. Keep it small, since this moves where the player is looking. From 0 to 45.	12°
Default Settings › Gap Yaw Urgency	How quickly the gap turn moves the camera, as a multiple of Probe Pull Rate.	3
Default Settings › Gap Max Shift	The furthest the camera will slide sideways to centre in a gap, in cm. Anything more is left to normal collision.	70 cm
Default Settings › Gap Engage Rate	How quickly the camera slides in once it finds a gap. Keep it brisk: arriving late means the camera is already in the door frame by the time the slide lands. At least 0.1.	7
Default Settings › Gap Release Rate	How quickly the camera lets go once the gap is behind you. Keep it slower than Gap Engage Rate, so the shot doesn't spring back the instant the walls clear. At least 0.1.	3
Default Settings › Occlusion Strategy	What gives when something blocks the view of the character: the camera pulls in closer, or moves round the obstacle and keeps its distance. Moving round never changes where the player is aiming. Not used while Predictive Avoidance is on. Choices: Pull Forward, Preserve Height, Preserve Distance.	Pull Forward
Default Settings › Occlusion Search Angle	How far round an obstacle the camera may swing to find a clear view, in degrees each way. From 5 to 170.	70°
Default Settings › Occlusion Swing Time	Roughly how long the camera takes to swing round an obstacle, and back once it's clear, in seconds.	0.35 s
Default Settings › Occlusion Search Steps	How many angles the camera tries across that swing. More finds a better spot but costs more collision checks. From 2 to 16.	6
Default Settings › Ignored Occluder Tags	The camera's collision ignores actors with any of these tags, so a fence post, railing or hanging cable can't yank the shot in.	empty
Default Settings › Thin Things Don't Block	Lets the camera pass through anything thin instead of coming in for it: a post, a pole, a railing, a lamp post, anything whose two narrowest sides are both under Thinner Than. Each mesh is measured whole (one instance at a time for instanced ones), so a frame or a shelf made as one piece isn't thin. Pair it with See Through, which shows your character through it. Off, everything that blocks the camera brings it in.	off
Default Settings › Thinner Than (cm)	How thin counts as thin, in cm: anything whose two narrowest sides are both under this. 30 takes posts, poles, railings and lamp posts, and leaves walls, pillars and furniture.	30 cm
Default Settings › Decollide	A final check that pushes the camera out of any wall it ends up in, after everything else has moved it. A point of interest set to suppress camera collision can still switch it off for a shot that's meant to clip.	on
Default Settings › Decollide Skin	How far clear of a surface the camera is pushed, in cm.	8 cm
Default Settings › Keep Out Of	Whether anything between your character and the camera brings it in, or only a wall the camera's actually inside. Choices: Nothing Between, Only When Inside.	Nothing Between
Default Settings › See Through	Lets you see your character, and whoever you're locked on to, through anything in the way: a soft hole in it round them. Only on meshes whose material has Blendable's See-Through function.	on
Default Settings › Your Character	Keeps your character in view.	on
Default Settings › Your Target	Keeps whoever you're locked on to in view.	on
Default Settings › Hole Size	How big the hole is round each of them, as a share of their size. 1 is just round them. From 0.1 to 3.	1.25
Default Settings › Opens In	How long something takes to open up once it's in the way, in seconds.	0.15 s
Default Settings › Closes In	How long it takes to close again once it's out of the way, in seconds.	0.4 s
Default Settings › Never Through Actors Tagged	Actors with any of these tags never open up, however much they're in the way.	empty
Default Settings › Open Skins Too	Also opens meshes with no collision of their own that sit on what's in the way: paint, panelling or trim laid over a plain wall as a mesh of its own. Off, only what the camera's channel can hit opens, and a painted skin stays shut.	on
Default Settings › Skin Reach	How near where the view meets a wall a skin has to be to open with it, in cm: 50 takes both faces of a wall 40 cm thick.	50 cm
Default Settings › Silhouette	Also shows the parts of them that are hidden, by anything at all, as a coloured outline and fill. Needs no material changes.	off
Default Settings › Silhouette Colour	The silhouette's colour; its alpha is how much of it shows.	R 0.45, G 0.75, B 1, A 1
Default Settings › Silhouette Fill	How much the silhouette fills them in inside its outline: 0 the outline only, 1 solid. From 0 to 1.	0.3
Default Settings › Allow Look At Offset	While a point of interest or lock-on is aiming the camera at something, lets the player steer it off-centre and keeps the framing they choose, instead of pulling back to the middle. Has no effect while Look At Break Free is on.	on
Default Settings › Look At Offset Max Yaw	How far left or right of the target the player may move the framing, in degrees. From 0 to 80.	30°
Default Settings › Look At Offset Max Pitch	How far up or down, in degrees, the player may compose away from the thing being looked at. From 0 to 80.	18°
Default Settings › Look At Offset Decay	How fast the player's chosen framing drifts back to centre once they stop steering, in degrees per second. 0 keeps it where they left it.	0
Default Settings › Look At Steer Threshold	How fast the player has to move the camera, in degrees per second, to count as choosing a new framing. Too low and the camera's own corrections count; too high and slow, careful adjustments are missed.	12
Default Settings › Look At Offset Adopt Rate	How quickly the camera accepts the framing the player is steering to. Lower holds the target more firmly, so pushing away takes more effort; very high gives way at once.	8
Default Settings › Look At Break Free	While a point of interest or lock-on is aiming the camera at something, holds it centred and resists the player pushing away, until they push past Look At Break Angle and it lets go. Overrides Allow Look At Offset while on.	on
Default Settings › Look At Break Angle	How far off the target, in degrees, the player has to push before the hold lets go. From 1 to 180.	40°
Default Settings › Look At Hold Strength	How firmly the hold keeps the target centred, as a multiple of the follow camera's Steer Rate. 1 is the normal look-at pull; higher takes more pushing to move off. At least 0.1.	1.5
Default Settings › Look At Reacquire Delay	After breaking free, how long the player has to leave the stick alone before the hold grabs the target again, in seconds. 0 grabs it straight back. Looking back towards the target grabs it too.	0.75 s
Default Settings › The Character Faces	Which way this rig asks the character to face while it's in charge. A point of interest's request wins over it. Your character acts on it by listening to On Orientation Request Changed. Choices: Unchanged, Orient to Movement, Strafe, Aim.	Unchanged
Default Settings › Pitch Response	Changes how far back the camera sits and how wide the lens is as the player looks up and down.	on
Default Settings › Pitch Arm Scale Up	Camera distance when looking all the way up to Max Pitch, as a multiple of Arm Length. Below 1 pulls the camera in; above 1 pushes it out. From 0.1 to 3.	1.2
Default Settings › Pitch Arm Scale Down	Camera distance when looking all the way down to Min Pitch, as a multiple of Arm Length. Below 1 pulls the camera in; above 1 pushes it out. From 0.1 to 3.	1.2
Default Settings › Pitch FOV Offset Up	Degrees of field of view added when looking all the way up. Negative narrows the lens.	10°
Default Settings › Pitch FOV Offset Down	Degrees of field of view added when looking all the way down. Negative narrows the lens.	10°
Default Settings › Pitch Arm Curve	Optional: replaces the two distance values with a curve, for shapes they can't make, like holding steady through the middle and only pulling in at the extremes. Time runs from -1 (looking all the way down) to 1 (all the way up); the value is a multiple of Arm Length.	no curve
Default Settings › Pitch FOV Curve	Optional: replaces the two field of view values with a curve. Time runs from -1 (looking all the way down) to 1 (all the way up); the value is degrees of field of view added.	no curve
Default Settings › Pitch Response Speed	How quickly the distance and lens catch up with the player's pitch, so a fast flick doesn't snap the camera in and out.	4
Default Settings › Use Probe Aiming	Blends all the automatic camera turns (following, slopes, falling, recentring) into one smooth pull the player can always push against. Off, each one turns the camera directly at its own speed.	on
Default Settings › Probe Pull Rate	How strongly the automatic turns pull the camera. Higher and the camera insists; lower and the player wins more easily.	3
Default Settings › Pitch Room Limit	Stops the player looking down so far that the camera swings up into a low ceiling. It only ever narrows the rig's own pitch limits, and with nothing overhead it does nothing.	on
Default Settings › Pitch Room Probe	How far above the camera to check for a ceiling, in cm. At least 10.	200 cm
Default Settings › Pitch Room Margin	How much room to leave between the camera and the ceiling, in cm, so it stops short instead of grazing it.	30 cm
Default Settings › Pitch Room Ease	How quickly the limit closes in and lets go as the ceiling above changes. Lower is smoother. At least 0.1.	4
Default Settings › Resting Pitch	The angle the camera settles back to when recentring or recovering its pitch, in degrees. Slightly down usually looks best behind a character.	-10°
Default Settings › Hold The Angle	Holds the camera at its own fixed angle instead of following the mouse or look stick, for top-down, isometric and side-on games. Turn it with Rotate Camera on the follow camera. The character still moves relative to the screen, so up on the stick is up on the screen.	off
Default Settings › Pitch	How far down it looks, in degrees. -90 is straight down, -50 a steep isometric view, 0 level. From -89.5 to 89.5.	-50°
Default Settings › Faces	Which way it faces when this rig takes the shot. Choices: A direction in the world, Wherever it was looking.	A direction in the world
Default Settings › Facing	The world direction it faces, in degrees. 0 looks along +X, 45 is the isometric diagonal, and -90 looks along -Y, so +X runs left to right across the screen. A turn the player makes is kept when switching to another rig that faces the same way.	0°
Default Settings › Yaw Follow	Swings the camera round behind the way the character is moving, once the player stops steering it.	off
Default Settings › Yaw Follow Speed	How quickly the camera swings round behind the direction of travel. Only used with Use Probe Aiming off; with it on, Probe Pull Rate and Yaw Follow Urgency set the pace.	1.6
Default Settings › Yaw Follow Delay	How long the player has to leave the look stick alone before the camera starts following, in seconds.	1.4 s
Default Settings › Yaw Follow Angle Threshold	How far the camera has to be from the direction of travel, in degrees, before it bothers following. Stops it fidgeting over small angles.	18°
Default Settings › Yaw Follow Up To	How far the direction of travel can be from the way the camera faces, in degrees, for the follow to still turn at full strength. Past it the follow eases off over Eases Off Over, so moving back towards the camera never swings it round. 180 follows every way. From 0 to 180.	90°
Default Settings › Eases Off Over	How many degrees past Yaw Follow Up To the follow takes to ease off to nothing. From 0 to 90.	10°
Default Settings › Follow Ramp Time	How long the automatic follows take to build up to full strength once they start, in seconds, so the camera eases into moving instead of lurching.	1 s
Default Settings › Follow Settle Time	Extra time after a rig change, on top of the blend itself, before the camera starts steering itself again, in seconds. 0 waits only for the blend. Falling, a recentre the player asks for and points of interest aren't held back by it.	0 s
Default Settings › Follow Ramp Curve	The shape of the Follow Ramp Time build-up, shared by all the automatic follows so they ease in the same way. Choices: Linear, Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In-Out, Custom Curve.	Ease In-Out
Default Settings › Follow Ramp Custom	Your own shape for the build-up, from 0 to 1, used when Follow Ramp Curve is Custom.	none
Default Settings › Handheld	The handheld shake for this shot: the camera operator's breathing, sway and reactions. Empty uses the handheld set on the Blendable Shake component. It blends smoothly into the next rig's handheld when the rig changes.	none
Default Settings › Handheld Strength	How much of the handheld this shot carries. 0 holds the camera still; above 1 is a shakier operator. From 0 to 2.	1
Default Settings › Also Running	A constant shake that belongs to this shot and runs alongside the handheld, like a rumbling engine room or a boat deck. It fades in and out with the rig. Keep one-off hits like a grenade out of it; they shouldn't fade because the rig changed.	none
Default Settings › Also Running Strength	How strong that shake is, 0 being off. From 0 to 2.	0
Default Settings › Yaw Follow Softness	How many degrees past Yaw Follow Angle Threshold the follow takes to reach full strength, so it slows gently into line instead of stopping dead. Only used with Use Probe Aiming on. At least 0.1.	15°
Default Settings › Yaw Follow Urgency	How quickly the follow turns the camera, as a multiple of Probe Pull Rate. Only used with Use Probe Aiming on. From 0.05 to 4.	1
Default Settings › Pitch Follow	Lets the camera tilt up and down on its own, to follow slopes and to look down while falling. Choose which below.	on
Default Settings › Pitch Follow Speed	How quickly the camera tilts to follow slopes and falls. Only used with Use Probe Aiming off; with it on, Slope Follow Urgency and Falling Urgency set the pace.	0.5
Default Settings › Pitch Follow Delay	How long the player has to leave the stick alone before the camera starts choosing the pitch itself.	2 s
Default Settings › Auto Recenter	Swings the camera back behind the character, at Resting Pitch, once the player has left it alone for Recenter Delay. For a recentre button, call Recenter Camera instead.	off
Default Settings › Recenter Delay	How long the player has to leave the camera alone before it recentres on its own, in seconds. Keep it long: recentring soon after they let go feels like the camera overruling them.	5 s
Default Settings › Recenter Input Buffer	After the player stops aiming, swapping shoulder or doing anything else besides moving, how long the auto recentre waits before Recenter Delay starts counting again, in seconds.	1 s
Default Settings › Recenter Speed	How quickly the recentre swings back, also used by Recenter Camera when the call doesn't give a speed. With Use Probe Aiming on, Recenter Urgency sets the pace instead.	3
Default Settings › Recenter Ease In	How long a recentre takes to get up to speed, in seconds, so it starts smoothly instead of with a jolt. 0 starts at full speed. From 0 to 2.	0.35 s
Default Settings › Recenter Urgency	How quickly the recentre turns the camera, as a multiple of Probe Pull Rate. Only used with Use Probe Aiming on. From 0.05 to 4.	1
Default Settings › Recenter Yaw Only	Only recentre the yaw, leaving the player's chosen pitch alone. Common in games where players deliberately hold a high or low angle and only want the camera swung back behind them.	off
Default Settings › Look Overshoot	Lets a fast turn coast to a stop after the player lets go, instead of stopping dead with the stick. Usually suits a gamepad better than a mouse.	off
Default Settings › Look Overshoot Amount	How much of the turn carries on after the player stops, 0 to 1. From 0 to 1.	0.35
Default Settings › Look Overshoot Decay	How long the leftover turn takes to bleed away once the player has stopped, in seconds. At least 0.01.	0.35 s
Default Settings › Look Overshoot Min Rate (deg/s)	How fast a turn has to be before it coasts at all. Slower, careful aiming stops exactly where the player leaves it.	90
Default Settings › Pitch Follow Angle Threshold	How far off, in degrees, the pitch has to be before the camera bothers correcting it at all.	5°
Default Settings › Pitch Follow Slopes	Tilts the camera up or down with the slope the character is moving along, so it looks where they're going.	on
Default Settings › Slope Min Incline	Degrees of incline below which the ground counts as flat. From 0 to 45.	6°
Default Settings › Slope Pitch Influence	How much of the slope's angle the camera tilts by, 0 to 1. 1 matches the slope exactly, which can point the camera at the hillside; less leans into a climb while keeping more horizon in view. From 0 to 1.	1
Default Settings › Slope Follow Urgency	How quickly the slope follow tilts the camera, as a multiple of Probe Pull Rate. Only used with Use Probe Aiming on. From 0.05 to 4.	1
Default Settings › Slope Follow Softness	How many degrees steeper than Slope Min Incline the slope has to get before the follow is at full strength. Lower reacts fully to gentler slopes. At least 0.1.	15°
Default Settings › Travel Pitch Smoothing	Smooths out bumps in the character's up-and-down movement, like kerbs and stairs, before the slope follow sees them, in seconds. Higher ignores more, but notices a real slope later.	0.35 s
Default Settings › Slope Follow Delay	How long the character has to keep climbing or descending before the camera starts tilting with it, in seconds, so a kerb or a short flight of stairs passes without a reaction. 0 starts straight away.	0 s
Default Settings › Slope Delay Resets on Look	Restarts Slope Follow Delay whenever the player moves the camera, so the slope follow never argues with someone lining up their own shot. Off, the wait only depends on the slope.	on
Default Settings › Pitch Recover	While the character is moving, tilts the camera back to Resting Pitch once the player stops steering it, whether it was left looking up or down. Gives way to the slope follow on hills.	off
Default Settings › Pitch Recover Delay	How long after the player last moved the camera before it starts tilting back, in seconds. It only tilts while the character is moving. 0 starts straight away.	1 s
Default Settings › Pitch Recover Speed	How quickly it tilts back, as a multiple of Probe Pull Rate. From 0.05 to 4.	1
Default Settings › Pitch Follow when Falling	Tilts the camera down while falling, so the player can see where they're about to land.	on
Default Settings › Falling Pitch	Where the camera looks while falling, in degrees. Negative looks down, at what you are about to land on.	-35°
Default Settings › Falling Speed Multiplier	How much faster than usual the camera swings to that falling angle. Falling is urgent, so 2 swings twice as fast; 1 is the usual rate.	1
Default Settings › Falling Urgency	How quickly the camera tilts down while falling, as a multiple of Probe Pull Rate. Only used with Use Probe Aiming on. From 0.05 to 4.	1
Default Settings › Falling Min Ground Distance	How much clear space there has to be below the character, in cm, before it counts as falling, so a hop doesn't tip the camera down.	250 cm
Default Settings › Constrain Yaw	Limits how far round the character the player can swing the camera, measured from the way the character is facing.	off
Default Settings › Local Min Yaw	How far left of the character's facing the player may look, in degrees. From -180 to 0.	-80°
Default Settings › Local Max Yaw	How far right of the character's facing the player may look, in degrees. From 0 to 180.	80°
Default Settings › Yaw Constraint Tolerance	How many degrees before the limit the camera starts slowing, so it eases to a stop instead of hitting a wall. 0 stops dead.	0°
Default Settings › Pitch Constraint Tolerance	The same easing for Min Pitch and Max Pitch, in degrees. 0 stops dead.	0°
Default Settings › Predictive Avoidance	Checks around the camera as well as straight behind it, so it eases off walls before reaching them instead of bumping into them. Replaces the Occlusion Strategy while on.	off
Default Settings › Feelers	The checks cast around the camera so it sees a corner coming. Leave the list empty for a default set of five.	empty
Default Settings › Feeler Smoothing	Smooths how much the predictive checks pull the camera in, in seconds, so it doesn't twitch as they clip corners. Higher is steadier but slower to react.	0.12 s
Default Settings › Focus › Focus On	What the lens keeps sharp. Focus follows them as they or the camera move. Choices: Nothing, You, The Target, The Point Of Interest, A Set Distance, Both Of You, Whichever Is Nearer, Whichever Is Further.	Nothing
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Strength	How much say this has over focus, 0 to 1. Where several points of interest want the focus, the one with the most say gets it. From 0 to 1.	1
Default Settings › Focus › At	How far from the camera the lens focuses, for A Set Distance, when you're setting it by hand rather than tracking something.	500 cm
Default Settings › Focus › Blend Focus	Eases the depth of field in and out instead of switching it on and off.	on
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Blend In Time	How long the depth of field takes to ease in when focus starts, in seconds.	0.6 s
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Blend Out Time	How long the depth of field takes to ease out when focus lets go, in seconds.	0.9 s
Default Settings › Focus › Realistic Rack	Pulls focus like a person would: a beat late, a touch too far, then it settles. Off, focus snaps straight to the new distance.	on
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Reaction Time	How long focus waits before it starts to follow a change, in seconds.	0.18 s
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Spring › Stiffness	How hard it pulls towards where it is going. Higher arrives sooner. Around 60 is loose and floaty, 180 is a normal camera movement, 400 and up is a snap.	34
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Spring › Damping	How much it resists wobbling. Higher settles flatter; lower bounces past and comes back. Twice the square root of Stiffness is exactly no wobble: about 27 at a Stiffness of 180.	7
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Spring › Max Speed	The fastest the movement may travel, in its own units per second. 0 is no limit. Rarely needed: it stops a big sudden change flinging the camera faster than the eye can follow.	0
Default Settings › Focus › Focus Dead Zone	How far the focus distance can drift, in cm, before the lens bothers to follow. Stops it chasing every small step.	30
Default Settings › Focus › Override Aperture	Also sets the aperture, to change how shallow the focus is from shot to shot. Off by default because it changes brightness too: turn it on only if you'll manage exposure yourself. Focus works fully without it.	off
Default Settings › Focus › Aperture	Lower is shallower and more cinematic. 22 is effectively everything in focus. From 0.5 to 32.	2.8
Default Settings › Focus › Exposure Reference F-Stop	The f-number your scene is already lit and exposed for. The aperture eases from here, so it starts where the scene already is. From 0.5 to 32.	2.8
Default Settings › Focus › Stop Down For Both	Both: also close the aperture until both subjects are sharp. Off focuses between them and leaves the aperture alone.	off
Default Settings › Focus › Keep The Exposure	Raises exposure to match as the aperture closes, so the picture doesn't darken. Only needed with manual exposure; auto exposure keeps the picture bright by itself. Needs Allow Rigs To Control Exposure in Blendable's project settings.	off
Default Settings › Focus › Close No Further Than (f/)	The furthest the aperture may close for Both, as an f-number. From 1 to 32.	11
Default Settings › Bone Rotation Influence	How much the camera turns with the pivot bone's animation, usually the head, 0 to 1. 0 is a clean first-person camera only the player turns; 1 is a helmet cam that gets every turn, nod and impact. Where the player is aiming is never affected. From 0 to 1.	0
Default Settings › Bone Rotation Axis Scale	How much of that turning to use on each axis, as Pitch, Yaw, Roll. Roll and pitch sell a helmet cam; yaw tends to fight the player, so 0 yaw is a good start.	X 1, Y 0, Z 1
Default Settings › Bone Rotation Smoothing	Smooths that head movement, in seconds. 0 uses the raw bone, jitter and all.	0.06 s
Default Settings › Bone Stabilisation	Steadies the camera against the head bobbing with each step, 0 to 1. 1 removes the bob completely while still following the character. From 0 to 1.	0
Default Settings › Bone Stabilisation Smoothing	Seconds over which the stabiliser averages. Longer is steadier and lags further behind a genuine change of height, like crouching. At least 0.01.	0.25 s
Default Settings › Eye Offset	Where the camera sits from the pivot, in the view's own axes: forward, right and up, in cm. It turns with the view, so 0, 0, 10 keeps the camera 10 cm above the pivot whichever way you look, and looking down brings it forward the way a head brings the eyes forward. 0 turns on the spot.	X 0, Y 0, Z 0
Default Settings › Draw First Person Meshes	Draws the meshes marked First Person, such as arms and held items, the way Unreal's first-person rendering does: out of the hidden body's shadow, with their own field of view and size below. Unreal 5.6 and later; it does nothing on 5.4.	off
Default Settings › First Person Mesh FOV	The field of view the first-person meshes are drawn with, in degrees. 0 draws them with the shot's own. Lower than the shot's, 70 under a 100 shot say, keeps arms and guns from stretching towards the edges of the screen. From 0 to 170.	0°
Default Settings › First Person Mesh Scale	How big the first-person meshes are drawn, shrunk towards the camera so they stop poking through walls: 1 is full size and 0.25 a quarter. From the camera they look the same at any size. From 0.001 to 1.	1
Default Settings › Post Process › Weight	How strongly this look applies over the level's own, 0 to 1. For no look, set this to 0 rather than unticking its boxes, so the look fades during a blend instead of switching halfway. From 0 to 1.	0
Default Settings › Post Process › Materials	Post process materials laid over the image, such as a scope overlay, a damage vignette or night vision. A material only one rig has fades in and out with the blend rather than popping.	empty
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Vignette	Take charge of the vignette. Off, whatever the level sets is left alone.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Vignette Intensity	How dark the corners go, 0 to 1. Around 0.4 is a gentle framing; 1 is a heavy tunnel. From 0 to 1.	0.4
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Film Grain	Take charge of film grain.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Film Grain Intensity	How much grain sits over the image. Small numbers: 0.2 is already visible. From 0 to 1.	0
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Chromatic Aberration	Colour separation towards the edges. A little reads as a lens; a lot reads as a headache.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Chromatic Aberration	How far the colour channels separate. Over about 2 it reads as a fault rather than a lens. From 0 to 5.	0
Default Settings › Post Process › Chromatic Aberration Start	How far out from centre the separation starts, 0-1. Keeps the middle of frame clean. From 0 to 1.	0
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Bloom	Take charge of bloom.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Bloom Intensity	How much bright things glow. The engine default is 0.675.	0.675
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Motion Blur	Take charge of motion blur.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Motion Blur Amount	How much movement smears. A common accessibility complaint, so consider leaving it to the player. From 0 to 1.	0.5
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Color Grading	Take charge of the colour grade below.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Color Saturation	Saturation: X, Y and Z for red, green and blue, W for all of them. 1 is untouched; below 1 drains the colour.	X 1, Y 1, Z 1, W 1
Default Settings › Post Process › Color Contrast	Contrast: X, Y and Z for red, green and blue, W for all of them. 1 is untouched; above 1 deepens the shadows.	X 1, Y 1, Z 1, W 1
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Exposure	Take charge of exposure compensation, to brighten or darken the shot. Keep it small: pushed far, the whole image can visibly step instead of just getting brighter. Needs Allow Rigs To Control Exposure, in Project Settings > Plugins > Blendable Camera.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Exposure Compensation	How many stops brighter or darker the image sits. Negative is darker. From -8 to 8.	0
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Exposure Speed	Take charge of how quickly the eye adjusts as the shot gets brighter or darker. Needs Allow Rigs To Control Exposure, in Project Settings > Plugins > Blendable Camera.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Exposure Speed Up	Stops per second while the shot is getting brighter. The engine's own default is 3. At least 0.02.	3
Default Settings › Post Process › Exposure Speed Down	Stops per second while it is getting darker. The engine's own default is 1. At least 0.02.	1
Default Settings › Post Process › Override Exposure Range	Take charge of how far the eye can adjust, with a darkest and a brightest limit. Needs Allow Rigs To Control Exposure, in Project Settings > Plugins > Blendable Camera.	off
Default Settings › Post Process › Exposure Min Brightness	The darkest the shot will adapt to. Raise it to keep a dark room dark. With UE5's default settings, roughly: 15 is direct sun, 10 an overcast day, 5 a bright interior, 0 a dim one, -2 moonlight.	-10
Default Settings › Post Process › Exposure Max Brightness	The brightest the shot will adapt to. Lower it to stop a bright exterior washing out.	20
Default Settings › Handheld Ambient Scale	Scales the constant handheld motion for this shot: bob, sway and lean. 0 holds still; above 1 adds more, say for a sprint.	1
Default Settings › Handheld Transient Scale	Scales one-off shakes for this shot: impacts, shakes and rumbles. Separate from the handheld so a cutscene can calm the camera and still let its scripted hits land.	1
Camera States	The states the camera can be in, and the rig each one uses by default. Aim (priority 10) and Ragdoll (20) come built in. Add a row for a new state, like Slide or Swim, and you can switch it from Blueprint and override it per view mode straight away.	empty
View Modes	The ways the player can view the game, like third person, first person or a shoulder cam. Each can have its own rigs for states like Aim and Ragdoll, so going down in first person stays in first person. Leave a state out and the camera's own rig for it is used.	empty
Default View Mode	The view mode the camera starts in. Leave blank to use Default Rig.	none

Each entry in Default Settings › Composition › More Shifts, one thing that moves the character around the screen while you play. Read it as a sentence: as DRIVEN BY goes from STARTS AT to FULL AT, move the character by MOVE BY, taking TAKES seconds to get there. Look down past 15 degrees and, by 60 degrees, the character has risen 15 percent of the screen height. Every shift is that same sentence whatever it watches, and they add up.

Each entry	What it does	Starts at
Driven By	What this shift reads. Hidden on the four fixed shifts, which each own one driver. Choices: Control Pitch Up, Control Pitch Down, Yaw Rate, Yaw from Movement, Speed, Crouch, Aim, Ceiling Room, Falling, Slope, Lock-On Distance, Framing Subject, Gap Room, Gameplay.	Gameplay
Gameplay Name	The name gameplay feeds this number in under, with Set Gameplay Driver.	none
Starts At	Nothing happens until the driver reaches this, in the driver's own units: degrees for pitch, cm/s for speed, 0 or 1 for crouch. A pitch shift starting at 15 ignores the first fifteen degrees of looking down; a speed shift starting at 300 ignores a walk.	0
Full At	Where the driver has to get to for the character to have moved the whole Move By amount. Between Starts At and here the movement ramps in proportionally, or along the Response Curve if there is one. Past it nothing more happens.	1
Response Curve	Optional shape for the ramp: time 0 is Starts At, time 1 is Full At, and the value is how much of Move By applies. Leave it empty for a straight line; an ease-in curve keeps the framing still early on and does most of its moving late.	no curve
Move By (%)	How far the character moves at Full At, in percent of the screen. X is across and Y is down, so Y of -15 raises them by fifteen percent and X of 10 moves them right by ten. A signed driver, like yaw rate, moves them the other way when it goes negative. For Speed, X is along their direction of travel on screen: negative holds them back and leaves room ahead, a lead; positive pushes them ahead, so the camera trails them.	X 0, Y 10
Slide Or Turn	Whether the camera slides to reframe or turns on the spot. Turning looks like the operator glancing and doesn't move the camera; it's limited by the rig's Look At Offset Max Yaw and Pitch instead of Max Camera Move. Choices: Slide the camera, Turn the view.	Slide the camera
Extra Free Drift (%)	Widens the Free Drift while this shift is engaged, in percent of the screen, so the character can wander more before the camera reacts. Handy at a sprint, where you may want them moved forward and allowed to bob about more.	X 0, Y 0
Takes (s)	Roughly how long the movement takes to arrive, and to leave again, in seconds. 0 suits a smooth driver like pitch, where any easing feels like lag on the stick; a driver that flips, like crouch or aim, needs a time here or the framing jumps.	0.25 s
Max Speed (%/s)	A speed limit on how fast the character moves across the screen, in percent of the screen per second, 0 for none. Unlike Takes, the framing still goes where the driver says, just never faster than this. 40 crosses a little under half the screen in a second; above about 150 you won't notice it.	0
Ease Direction Changes	Eases the swing across the screen when the driver changes direction at full strength, like a character turning round, instead of flipping to the other side at once. Paced by Takes and Max Speed. A side-on lead wants this; a shift that should answer at once doesn't.	off

Each entry in Default Settings › Feelers, one of the extra checks predictive collision casts around the camera, so it can ease off a wall before reaching it.

Each entry	What it does	Starts at
Adjustment Rot	Which way this check points, as an angle off the line straight back from the character to the camera. Zero is straight back.	Pitch 0, Yaw 0, Roll 0
World Weight	How much a hit on world geometry counts. Angled feelers matter less than the direct one. From 0 to 1.	1
Pawn Weight	How much a hit on a character counts, 0 to 1. Lower it so crowds and NPCs walking behind the player don't push the camera around; 1 treats a body like a wall. From 0 to 1.	1
Probe Radius	How fat this feeler is, in cm. Wider finds obstacles sooner and keeps the camera further off them.	20

Each entry in Default Settings › Post Process › Materials, one post process material laid over the image, and how strongly.

Each entry	What it does	Starts at
Material	A post process material to lay over the image.	none
Weight	How much of this material to apply, 0 to 1. From 0 to 1.	1

Each entry in Camera States, something the camera can be doing, like aiming, ragdoll, sliding or swimming, and the rig it uses by default. Each view mode can swap in its own rig for it.

Each entry	What it does	Starts at
Name	The name you pass to Set Camera State. Aim and Ragdoll come built in; add any others you need.	none
Rig	The rig for this state, unless the current view mode has its own.	none
Priority	Higher wins when more than one thing wants the camera. Keep states above the idle camera and below cutscenes (100); Ragdoll (20) outranks Aim (10), so being knocked down beats aiming.	10
Blend In Time (s)	How long this state takes to arrive, in seconds. 0 cuts. Below 0 uses its rig's Default Blend Time. A time given to Set Camera State wins over this. At least -1.	-1 s
Blend Out Time (s)	How long the shot takes to go back when this state ends, in seconds. 0 cuts. Below 0 uses the Default Blend Time of the rig it goes back to, or a fixed camera's Blend In Time. At least -1.	-1 s

Each entry in View Modes, one way of viewing the game, like third person, first person or a shoulder cam. Each can have its own rigs for states like Aim and Ragdoll, so going down in first person stays in first person.

Each entry	What it does	Starts at
Name	The name you pass to Select View Mode. Must be unique.	none
Rig	The rig this view uses when nothing else is going on.	none
State Rigs	This view's own rig for each state, by name: Aim, Ragdoll, or any you add. Leave a state out to use the camera's own rig for it.	empty
Blend Time	How long switching to this view takes, in seconds. Below zero uses the rig's own Default Blend Time.	-1
Preview in Editor	Editor only: shows where this view's camera sits and what it can see, while you set it up.	on

Other Shots#

Pad And Mouse#

The value on the line is Auto Detect Input Device: watches what the player is actually using, a pad or mouse and keyboard, and changes the shot as On A Gamepad says and to the Keyboard Mouse Rig when it's set, since a stick usually wants more help from the camera than a mouse does. Keeps Is Using Gamepad and On Input Device Changed up to date either way, for prompts and UI to follow. Starts at off.

Setting	What it does	Starts at
On A Gamepad	What the shot does on a pad: switch to a rig of your own, keep the current one, or keep it with the gamepad friendly settings below. Choices: Switch To A Rig, Keep The Current, Gamepad Friendly Settings.	Switch To A Rig
Gamepad Rig	The rig to switch to when the player is on a pad, for a looser shot than mouse aiming wants. Empty, nothing changes.	none
Yaw Follow	Swings the camera round behind the way the character is moving, once the player stops steering it.	on
Yaw Follow Delay (s)	How long the player has to leave the look stick alone before it starts following, in seconds.	1 s
Yaw Follow From (deg)	How far the camera has to be from the way they're moving, in degrees, before it follows.	18°
Auto Pitch	Lets the camera tilt up and down on its own: with slopes, and down while falling.	on
Pitch Follows Slopes	Tilts with the slope the character is moving along, so it looks where they're going.	on
Looks Down When Falling	Tilts down while falling, so the player sees where they'll land.	on
Auto Pitch Delay (s)	How long the player has to leave the stick alone before the camera chooses the pitch itself, in seconds. Rigs with Use Probe Aiming off.	1.5 s
Pitch Recover	While the character moves, tilts the camera back to Resting Pitch once the player stops steering it. Rigs with Use Probe Aiming on.	on
Pitch Recover Delay (s)	How long after the player last moved the camera before it tilts back, in seconds.	1 s
Recentre	Swings the camera back behind the character, at Resting Pitch, once the player has left it alone a while.	on
Recentre Delay (s)	How long the player has to leave the camera alone before it recentres, in seconds. Keep it long, or it overrules them.	5 s
Keyboard Mouse Rig	The rig to switch to on mouse and keyboard. Leave both empty to use the same shot for everyone.	none

Under More:

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Input Profile Priority	The priority the gamepad and mouse rigs hold the camera at. Keep it below View Mode Priority; at or above it, the device rig wins over every view mode and preset change.	2

Idle#

The value on the line is Idle Camera Enabled: drifts to a different shot when the player puts the controller down: the character has to be standing still and the camera untouched. Standing still while looking around doesn't count. Starts at off.

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Idle Camera Rig	The rig to switch to once idle, like an orbit, a wide shot or a low angle.	none
Idle Camera Delay	How long the player has to be still and silent, in seconds, before the idle camera takes over.	10 s
Idle Camera Blend Time	How long the drift to the idle shot takes, in seconds. 0 cuts straight to it.	3 s
Idle Camera Return Time	How long the camera takes to come back once the player starts playing again, in seconds. Keep it short, or the camera lags behind them as they set off.	0.4 s
Not While Locked On	Holds the idle clock at zero while a lock frames a target, and starts it again from zero once the lock lets go, broken, lost or released: standing still while locked on is never idle. Off, a lock counts like any other stillness.	on

Under More:

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Idle Camera Priority	The priority the idle shot holds the camera at. It must be above View Mode Priority or it never shows, and below aim, ragdoll and cutscenes so any of them interrupts it.	7

The World#

Points Of Interest#

The value on the line is Obey Points Of Interest: let world points of interest steer aim, position and lens through this camera. Starts at on.

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Steer Rate	How quickly a point of interest or lock-on pulls the aim towards what it's looking at, when it's only partly in control. When a point of interest takes full control of the stick, the aim is locked regardless.	5

Fixed Cameras#

The value on the line is Use Fixed Cameras: lets Blendable Fixed Cameras placed in the level take the shot while the player is inside their areas. Starts at on.

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Controls Across A Cut	What the movement stick's directions do when a fixed camera cuts to a new angle. Keep The Old Direction means holding the stick keeps the character going the same way through the cut, as the classics do. Choices: Keep The Old Direction, Ease Into The New, Switch Straight Away, Leave The Controls Alone.	Keep The Old Direction
Keep If Turned By (deg)	How far the new camera has to face away from where the stick was going before the old direction is kept, in degrees. A smaller turn just switches. From 0 to 180.	10°
Stopped Below (cm/s)	Moving slower than this counts as the stick let go, in cm/s. Only used when no Move Action is set.	50 cm/s
Stopped For (s)	How long the stick has to be let go before the old direction ends, in seconds, so a stutter in the stick doesn't end it.	0.15 s
Let Go When Turned By (deg)	Turning the stick this far from where it was going at the cut ends the old direction too, in degrees. From 0 to 180.	60°
Let Go Over (s)	How long the stick's directions take to come round to the camera once the old direction ends, in seconds. 0 switches at once.	0.3 s
Into A State, Face	Which way the camera faces when a state, such as aiming or a lock-on, takes the shot from a fixed camera. Choices: Where The Controls Point, The Character's Way, The Fixed Camera's Way.	The Character's Way
Back To Following, Face	Which way the camera faces when the player leaves every fixed camera's area and it follows them again. Choices: Where The Controls Point, The Character's Way, The Fixed Camera's Way.	Where The Controls Point
Transition Between Shots	A screen transition from Blendable FX played on every change between fixed cameras, and to and from following, where neither camera names one of its own.	none

Under More:

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Keep At Most (s)	The longest the old direction is kept, in seconds, however the stick is held. 0 keeps it for as long as the stick does.	0 s
Ease Over (s)	With Ease Into The New, how long the stick's directions take to turn round to a new camera, in seconds.	0.5 s
Move Action	Your movement input action, if you'd like the old direction to end by the stick itself. Empty, it goes by how the character moves.	none

Collision#

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Probe Channel	The collision channel the camera's checks use. Anything set to ignore this channel won't block the camera. Choices: WorldStatic, WorldDynamic, Pawn, Visibility, Camera, PhysicsBody, Vehicle, Destructible, Projectile, Traversable, Mouse, Obstacle, Cover.	Camera
Characters Block The Camera	Lets other characters push the camera in and around, as walls do. Off, the camera passes through them: none of its checks count them, so the arm, the dodge round an obstacle, the shoulder, gap centring and a lock's choice of side all go by the level alone. A character is anything whose collision Object Type is Pawn, as a character's capsule and mesh are, so a ragdoll, a vehicle or a prop still blocks.	off

Comfort#

Motion#

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Handheld Scale	How much of the constant camera motion to keep: bob, sway, lean and momentum. It's the motion most likely to cause discomfort. From 0 to 1.	1
Shake Scale	How much of every impact, shake and rumble the player wants. 0 removes them entirely, which some players need. From 0 to 1.	1
Lens Effect Scale	How much every camera effect may change the field of view, 0 to 1. At 0 it also stops a fast turn coasting on after the player lets go. From 0 to 1.	1
Movement Scale	How much every camera effect may shift the camera's position, 0 to 1. Tilt has its own setting, since some players are bothered by one and not the other. From 0 to 1.	1
Tilt Scale	How much every camera effect may tilt the camera, 0 to 1. From 0 to 1.	1
Lock-On Effects	How much of the lock-on's effects to play: the looks laid over the picture, the bars and the highlight. 0 turns them off. From 0 to 1.	1
Keep Horizon Level	Never roll the camera. Every shake, lean and peek keeps its movement, pitch and yaw, and the horizon stays level. The single setting that helps the most people who get motion sick.	off
Allow Auto Motion	Lets the camera move on its own. Off stops auto-follow, slope pan, the idle camera and auto-recentre.	on

Framing Steps#

Setting	What it does	Starts at
FOV Steps	The player's field of view setting, in steps either side of your tuned value, usually -5 to +5. Positive is wider. From -10 to 10.	0
FOV Step Degrees	How many degrees each step of the player's field of view setting is worth.	3
Distance Steps	The player's camera distance setting, in steps either side of your tuned distance. Positive sits further back. From -10 to 10.	0
Distance Step Cm	How many centimetres each step of the player's camera distance setting is worth.	40

Centre Dot#

The value on the line: shows a fixed dot at the centre of the screen, which helps many players with motion sickness. Blendable doesn't draw it: your HUD reads it from Get Centre Dot Style or Get Centre Dot. Starts at off.

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Centre Dot Pixels	The dot's diameter in pixels, for a dot drawn as a widget with Get Centre Dot Style. It stays the same size whatever the field of view. At least 1.	6
Centre Dot Size	The dot's radius in world units, for a dot drawn in the world with Get Centre Dot. At least 0.1.	3
Centre Dot Colour	The colour of the centre dot, for players who use one to fight motion sickness.	R 1, G 1, B 1, A 1
Centre Dot Distance	How far in front of the camera the dot sits, in cm, for a dot drawn in the world. It stays at screen centre either way; this only changes how big it looks and what can hide it. At least 1.	1000

Centre Dot Fade Time	How long the dot takes to fade in and out. A soft fade keeps it from catching the eye.	0.15 s

Stability#

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Shot Settle Time	Smooths small changes in where the camera sits around the character when no rig blend is running, in seconds. Keep it short: it's there to stop the camera jumping, not to add feel. Rig blends use their own timing instead. At least 0.001.	0.05 s
Max Camera Step	Stops a frame hitch from jolting the camera: no single frame moves it by more than this much time, in seconds. 0.05 only kicks in below 20 fps. 0 turns it off.	0.05 s
Carry Through Teleports	When the character teleports, moves the camera with them so the shot stays exactly the same, instead of flying across the level to catch up.	on
Teleport Distance Threshold	How far the character has to move in a single frame to count as a teleport, in cm. Keep it above anything they can really cover in a frame, or fast moves like a launch lose the camera lag that sells their speed.	300

Priorities And Views#

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Cinematic Priority	The priority cutscenes take the camera at. Kept far above the rest so there's room for gameplay states in between without renumbering anything.	100
View Mode Priority	The priority view modes hold the camera at. Keep it above Input Profile Priority and below the idle camera, aim, ragdoll and cutscenes, so those can take over and then hand the shot back.	5
View Hold Threshold	How long the cycle-view button has to be held, in seconds, before it swaps shoulder instead of changing view. At least 0.05.	0.25 s
First Person Arm Threshold	Arm length at or below which a rig counts as first person.	25 cm

About This Preset#

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Display Name	A readable name for this preset. It's only a label: nothing looks presets up by it.	empty
Description	What this camera is for, in a sentence, so presets can be told apart without opening each one.	empty

Setting	What it does	Starts at
Zoom Action	Your zoom action, an axis such as the mouse wheel: up zooms in. Only a rig or a fixed camera with Manual Zoom on answers it.	none
Zoom In Action	A button that zooms in a step, or to the next stage, as on a pad.	none
Zoom Out Action	A button that zooms out a step, or to the stage before.	none

What a damper channel holds#

How one part of the camera smooths its movement, such as the pivot following the character.

Setting	What it does	A new one starts at
Model	Which kind of smoothing to use. The spring eases in and out; the exponential starts at full speed and only eases out. Choices: Exponential, Critically Damped.	Critically Damped
Lead Moving Target	Keeps up with a moving character instead of trailing behind, so the camera sits where it should at any speed. Critically Damped only.	on
Lead Smoothing Time	How gradually the lead comes and goes as the character starts, stops or turns, in seconds, so sudden moves don't swing the camera out and back. 0 turns this off. Too high and the camera hangs back in turns and swings past coming out of them.	0.25 s

What a shift holds#

One thing that moves the character around the screen while you play. Read it as a sentence: as DRIVEN BY goes from STARTS AT to FULL AT, move the character by MOVE BY, taking TAKES seconds to get there. Look down past 15 degrees and, by 60 degrees, the character has risen 15 percent of the screen height. Every shift is that same sentence whatever it watches, and they add up.

Setting	What it does	A new one starts at
Driven By	What this shift reads. Hidden on the four fixed shifts, which each own one driver. Choices: Control Pitch Up, Control Pitch Down, Yaw Rate, Yaw from Movement, Speed, Crouch, Aim, Ceiling Room, Falling, Slope, Lock-On Distance, Framing Subject, Gap Room, Gameplay.	Gameplay
Gameplay Name	The name gameplay feeds this number in under, with Set Gameplay Driver.	none
Starts At	Nothing happens until the driver reaches this, in the driver's own units: degrees for pitch, cm/s for speed, 0 or 1 for crouch. A pitch shift starting at 15 ignores the first fifteen degrees of looking down; a speed shift starting at 300 ignores a walk.	0
Full At	Where the driver has to get to for the character to have moved the whole Move By amount. Between Starts At and here the movement ramps in proportionally, or along the Response Curve if there is one. Past it nothing more happens.	1
Response Curve	Optional shape for the ramp: time 0 is Starts At, time 1 is Full At, and the value is how much of Move By applies. Leave it empty for a straight line; an ease-in curve keeps the framing still early on and does most of its moving late.	no curve
Move By (%)	How far the character moves at Full At, in percent of the screen. X is across and Y is down, so Y of -15 raises them by fifteen percent and X of 10 moves them right by ten. A signed driver, like yaw rate, moves them the other way when it goes negative. For Speed, X is along their direction of travel on screen: negative holds them back and leaves room ahead, a lead; positive pushes them ahead, so the camera trails them.	X 0, Y 10
Slide Or Turn	Whether the camera slides to reframe or turns on the spot. Turning looks like the operator glancing and doesn't move the camera; it's limited by the rig's Look At Offset Max Yaw and Pitch instead of Max Camera Move. Choices: Slide the camera, Turn the view.	Slide the camera
Extra Free Drift (%)	Widens the Free Drift while this shift is engaged, in percent of the screen, so the character can wander more before the camera reacts. Handy at a sprint, where you may want them moved forward and allowed to bob about more.	X 0, Y 0
Takes (s)	Roughly how long the movement takes to arrive, and to leave again, in seconds. 0 suits a smooth driver like pitch, where any easing feels like lag on the stick; a driver that flips, like crouch or aim, needs a time here or the framing jumps.	0.25 s
Max Speed (%/s)	A speed limit on how fast the character moves across the screen, in percent of the screen per second, 0 for none. Unlike Takes, the framing still goes where the driver says, just never faster than this. 40 crosses a little under half the screen in a second; above about 150 you won't notice it.	0
Ease Direction Changes	Eases the swing across the screen when the driver changes direction at full strength, like a character turning round, instead of flipping to the other side at once. Paced by Takes and Max Speed. A side-on lead wants this; a shift that should answer at once doesn't.	off
