Live Link VCAM is a powerful tool developed by Epic Games International S.a.r.l. that brings virtual production-ready cinematography to your iPad or iPhone. This innovative app allows you to translate traditional filmmaking concepts into Unreal Engine's digital realm, enabling you to record realistic camera takes that can be further fine-tuned in the editor.

With Live Link VCAM, you can review early set environments through the lens, previsualize shot cameras before a shoot, capture real takes during principal photography, create new shots in post, or do all of the above. The app utilizes ARKit to stream out positional and rotational data live to an Unreal Engine instance over a network, allowing you to drive the 3D camera within the real-time environment.

One of the standout features of Live Link VCAM is the ability to stream the camera view live from Unreal Engine to your iPad or iPhone. This allows you to visualize the shot with accurate depth of field and make immediate adjustments to camera parameters such as lens focus, iris, and zoom, all while receiving instant feedback.

Timecode support is also included, allowing for multi-device synchronization. You can choose to use the iPhone system clock, an NTP server, or even connect with a Tentacle Sync to synchronize with a master clock on stage.

Live Link VCAM is an essential tool for filmmakers and designers looking to create stunning compositions and realistic camera movements within the Unreal Engine environment. With its intuitive interface and powerful features, this app opens up a world of possibilities for virtual production. Best of all, it's available for free on the iPhone platform.
