Getting Setup

Quickly and easily set up camera animations in your project using Blueprints by following this step-by-step guide.

Installing the Plugin to Unreal Engine

Follow these steps to get the plugin installed:

1. Install the plugin via Epic Games Launcher vault. If you don't see it after purchasing on Fab, click the refresh button.

1. Enable the plugin in the Unreal Plugin Window. To get here, go to edit->Plugins->Advanced Camera Component.

1. Restart the engine editor to finish installing the plugin.

2. That's it! The plugin should now be installed. Next, we need to set up the inputs for the demo character so you can use the demo content.

Using the Demo Content

1. Click the Settings button in the content browser and choose "Show Engine Content".

2. Now look for the engine folder and find the Advanced Camera Component/Dynamic Camera System content folder, it may depend on what fab names it.

3. Now open the demo content map.

4. Before playing we need to setup input on our demo character, to do this go to project settings->Input

5. Add these input events to your project settings.
