    Hi,

    As I understand, Dead Zone Depth in Framing Transposer is supposed to prevent zooming in the target, unless the target is out of the Dead Zone "depth". It works as advertised, if I change the Dead Zone Depth at runtime.

    But if I try to set up this depth out of runtime, before I hit "play", the camera zooms out :/. I think it is not supposed to do that (I wish it would not do that). Is that a bug or did I miss something?

    At 0:23 you can see the effect I want to get.

    The vcam will always initialize itself at the point specified by the Camera Distance field, which is at the center of the dead zone.

    Thanks... ok, but look at the video. This is the way it works now, and it does not correspond with what you are saying it should work like. I'll submit a bug.

    So I looked at this again, and I think you're right: there's a bug.
    What version of CM are you using?

    Drop this in your project, replacing the existing file of the same name. Let me know if it solves the problem.
