Hello,
i work in a small but fully digital TV station in Greece / Rhodes. A colleague of mine is making his efforts with Lightwave and the Liveset plugin.

His knowledge of Lightwave is vast and he is making new livesets quite easily.
But we have one issue.
We can't make the first position of any camera aligned in the set along the other 3 positions.
I am posting some screenshots so you check the problem. We would appreciate any advice given. I have seen makers of liveset in this forum not having this issue so i do hope for a solution :)

The typical issue is that the 2nd 3rd and 4th camera position of one camera are correct to each other, aligning the presenter/chair in one of these positions, shows correctly to the other 2 but not on the first position too. And vice versa, aligning the camera to the presenter/chair while showing the first position of one camera, shows incorrectly aligned the 2nd 3rd and 4th.

There is also an issue of focus, which we are not so sure about it. We think that the focus (or net? ) of the camera is taken from position one of each camera?

Anyways, to the screenshots.

On the following screenshots we aligned and scaled properly the input of camera2 to our liveset and position one (1) of the 4 positions we made on this camera (left).

However when selecting position 2,3,4 we see wrongly scaled input of cam2

On the next two screenshots, we aligned/scaled the input of camera2 to the position 4 of our liveset. The input is scaled and aligned correctly also to positions 2 and 3 of our liveset/cam2.

However this doesn't apply to position 1.

I also want to comment that same happens in our Center camera, I mean i dont think its a mistake of angle but something else.

Any advice would be appreciated

Make sure he does not have "Keyhole" checked for anything but a close-up camera shot in the LiveSet pluggin's pannel. Keyhole presents the video 1:1 and does not scale it.
