Hello. I can not animate Focal Lenght in Configure Shot tab. It working alone, but after I add camera in Sequncer, focal lenght freeze and I can not animate it. If I want to change focal lenght, than I must delete camera from sequncer, make changes and put it back, but no Real Camera animation. I can animate only Camera Component. And Camera Component is not physical correct I believe. Unreal 5.1

Cinematographer 1.06 is now online and available for download. This update should fix all the mentioned problems. Every value with a keyframe button next to it will now update properly in the Sequencer. We removed these buttons on values where animation is not possible. Thank you for your patience and if you encounter any further problems, please let us know!

I shoot a screen to show. Everything is working and animating except focal length. At 2:00 you can see the bug. I try to zoom and sequencer zero out my changes.

Hey, welcome aboard and thank you for getting in touch! Can you verify you are using the latest version of Cinematographer -1.06? This problem should have been fixed in the 1.05 update. You can check the version in the Epic Games Launcher or in the Plugin settings in Unreal Engine.

Thanks for the quick response. Happy New Year. I removed the previous version and installed the plugin again, but for some reason version 1.05 was installed. I also tried to install it on Unreal 5.0.3, but 1.05 is also installed there. Maybe some problems with the engine, for some reason I can't install 1.06 . Do I need to check the engine files or install it again?

I verify the files, removed and reinstalled the plugin. But version 1.05 is installed. I do not understand how to update to 1.06. I want to use the function with zoom focal length in my project. Thank you waiting for news

Hey and Happy New Year! 

1.05 is the newest version, I'm very sorry for the misinformation! Are you encountering the focal length issues in 1.05? We fixed several Sequencer Update issues in this patch.

Yes, focal length stops tuning after being placed in the sequencer. And the keys in the sequencer are white. I can't animate zoom in camera

Thank you for this information. It should have been fixed in the last release but we will look into the issue and should have an update ready soon. Until then you can, as you described, use the focal length in the Real Camera Component. We are really sorry for the inconvenience and the misinformation. We will update this thread, when the update is out.
