    Hi,

    I am using the latest version of Cinemachine from the Package Manager (v2.2.8)

    I want to store a virtual camera as a Preset and load it from an editor script.

    Whenever I save a virtual camera component preset, the settings are lost in the preset:

    If I try to change the Body or Aim settings in the preset, I get an error:

    Is there something I am doing wrong or is it not possible to store a virtual camera component as a preset?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately you can't store these as presets. The subcompopnents (composer, transposer, etc) are actually different components, and that paradigm isn't currently supported by the preset system.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I guess using virtual camera prefabs would be the next best option to achieve what I am trying to do.

    Yes, those work, but exercise caution as they are a little delicate. In particular, when editing a vcam prefab always drag it into your scene, edit the instance, then apply back to the prefab.
