How to use :

• You should change the Custom Depth-Stencil pass value to Enabled with Stencil in Project settings\Engine\Rendering\Postprocessing. If you don’t do this you will encounter visual glitches when using the ghost capturer.

• For custom transparent shaders you would want to use with the ghost capturer, make sure to enable custom depth writes and to set the mask clip value to 0 in the master material.

• For 5.3/4 : You have to enable “Override Aspect Ratio Axis Constraint” on your game camera and set the “Aspect Ratio Axis Constraint” parameter to “Maintain X-Axis FOV“.

Good to know :

The post effect’s quality is dependent on your game’s frame rate since the game’s view capture is used as an input to the effect. So the higher FPS you have, the better the effect will look.
