Cinemachine causes camera to move in the editor mode.

As the title suggests Cinemachine causes the camera to move in very very amount even in editor mode. Not playing. The movement seems like in one direction in very very small amount, but it moves constantly.

disabling the cinemachine attached to camera, stops the camera from moving.

Is this known/intended behavior?

 

i have the same issue, its very annoying

 

same, really annoying..

 

Bump.

Every call to Repaint the SceneView will cause camera to move, and thus changes in my scene, which I do not want.
Only VCam active has a framing transposer, but no follow target is set in Edit Mode.

Is there a way to disable Cinemachine from running at all in EditMode?

 

I'm having this behaviour too. I'm on Unity 2020.2.3f1 and Cinemachine 2.7.1.

It's not 100%, but it's definitely related to not reloading the domain. My framing transposer was constantly zooming out (in both editor and play mode), even after restarting Unity, until I caused a recompile. Immediately afterwards, everything was fine again.

 

Sorry, no solid repro other than repeatedly entering play mode without reloading the domain - sometimes when play mode starts it messes up, sometimes not.

Brain on the camera:



Framing transposer:



Target group (note that the list is empty until a player joins, although the issue still occurs without a player present):

 

Similar issue, however my Brain is on a separate object, and this only happens to a single virtual camera.
Doesn't seem to affect me in play mode at all, but it rotates around the character to strange positions when the editor view updates.

 

Hello everyone, I had such a problem, I dealt with it. I found that my camera just follows itself.

You just need to make sure that the camera or camera parent objects are not in the Follow and Look At fields.

 

I had this issue at a large scale where random buttons made the cam moved varying amounts. The FreeLook cam field of Follow was set to follow a player which had a camera attached. Moving the cam to a child of the player fixed the issue

 

I have similar issue too, camera moves when Unity recompiles the scripts. I have a simple camera with cinemachine brain, than a tracked dolly and dolly virtual camera that aims at group.
When I enter the play mode, camera positions itself correctly, then I copy the transform and paste it in edit mode. Everything is OK but then, camera rotates a bit when when I recompile the scripts or call:

UnityEditor.Compilation.CompilationPipeline.RequestScriptCompilation(UnityEditor.Compilation.RequestScriptCompilationOptions.CleanBuildCache);

Unity 2021.1.20f1
Cinemachine 2.7.9



@Gregoryl if you want, I can try to reproduce it in some minimal project and send it where you want to, or even create a bug report

 

I submitted a bug report: IN-15838

 

any updates for this? i have this bug too

 

I just now received an email with resolution "As Designed" and these are the resolver notes:

"Resolver: Resolution Notes: The transform and fov values change, because that's how GroupComposer works. It has several ways to compose a group (zoom only (fov) , dolly (transform) and zoom (fov), etc). These behaviours are calculated at runtime, so that's why you see the changes after entering playmode."

Very weird answer, because I never mentioned anything about play mode, it all happens in edit mode while recompiling scripts. And as if I didn't know that the values are supposed to change in runtime...

But anyway it seems that in the newest version of Cinemachine package and Unity Editor, this issue is not reproducible, so there is hope.

 

I'm still having the same issue in Unity 2022.3.1f1
I could upload a zipped file of the project so you can look at it( the file is a bit large). I have no idea why this is happening. It's also affecting the gameobject to move far away and when I hit play, the gameobject stays where the bug moved it to.
I hope someone can show me a solution for this.

 

I have this issue, too, using 2.9.7 from May 08, 2023. Looks like this was marked "won't fix" ‍

Well I have submitted ticket with an example project a year ago. As I wrote a few posts above, it returned to me with status "As Designed" with a bit of a non-sensical explanation, I replied to that and the ticket was reopened and nothing happened since (awaiting further review) IN-15838.

 

I did not receive any updates, no. But I have not noticed that link in the jira ticket. Quick test shows me that indeed the camera transform is not modified anymore. I have not noticed that it's fixed until now, probably because upon recompilation I still get that asterix on the opened scene in the hierarchy signaling that the scene is modified - but it is another issue (unknown yet, but surely completely unrelated to cinemachine).

Thanks.
