Setting up the virtual camera using the Live Link Controller

Here's how to set up your virtual camera in an Unreal Engine virtual production project.

In the Place Actors panel, go to the Basic tab, and then click and drag Empty Actor into your viewport to add it to your scene.
In the World Outliner panel, rename the empty actor to Stage Center.
Set the Location and Rotation coordinates of the Stage Center actor to 0.
Pull the Stage Center actor up through the floor of the viewport so it's fully visible.
In the World Outliner panel, drag the Cine Camera Actor under the Stage Center actor, and then set its Location and Rotation coordinates to 0.
In the World Outliner panel, select CineCameraActor.
In the Details panel, click Add Component, and then select Live Link Controller.
Select LiveLinkComponentController.
For Subject Representation, select Rover 1.
Place a Rover unit on your set in a stage center position with the VIVE logo facing away from the camera. Connect it to Mars, and then tap Recenter on the Mars dashboard.

The Location and Rotation coordinates of Rover 2 will be set to 0 and the actor CineCameraActor (Rover 1) will stay in the same relative position.
