    Sam will probably not see this, but the micro frame skip issue is something I came across on the Fortnite World Cup. It occurs when we did a 1080i to 1080p conversion on Aja. Where a 0.1 frame drop would cause a full frame dropped through the live feed 1080i-1080p conversion. The fix was to change the broadcast input to 1080p.

      Sometimes you just gotta accept that stuff isn’t gonna be perfect, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have any good points. Some jankyness or dropped frames here and there doesn’t take away from something this incredibly awesome.
      You can actually see Sam relaxing and accepting the issues/janky moments after Niko tells him to chill. That was exactly what Sam needed to hear at that moment.

      Read about the U.S. civil war. You will come across a term called "the slows". Lincoln said the about McClellan. He wanted every thing perfect before he acted. He never truly acted because he was constantly demanding more, and his needs changed because of his perception of the Confederate army. A few other Union generals had this problem, or at least were accused of it.

    I love the idea of using miniatures as sets for virtual productions. Miniatures used to be hugely important to filmmaking, even as late as the Star Wars prequels and Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it seems like no one wants to do miniatures anymore. They just model everything on computers, but this splits the difference. You can build your environment as a practical miniature and still use that to photograph virtually.

    One of the likely possibilities for why you are having issues with the Unreal Engine, is that you haven't optimized the scene you are working with. Too many assets with high poly counts in one scene (without occlusion culling etc. enabled), will result in performance related issues.

      they've gotta synchronise tracking data, unreal render and live plate - without TC/genlock to all of those 3 it's quite difficult to get a live comp without tearing, juttering or floating artefacts. timed data monitor in UE is OK if everything is running at same framerate but with film camera at 24fps and vive at 90 youre going to have a bad time. if you do work out subframe offsets to fix mixed hz to get an alignment cool, except if theres variability eg. video capture memory hiccup, vive hiccup, etc. small sub frames throws it out. variability a killer without TC genlock.
