Does this prompt mean that installing the Timecode plugin is mandatory in order to use AccuFACE2?

To use Time Mode,the Timecode plugin must be installed and the source video needs to include timecode data.

Hi gaweiwei,

Thank you for your question. This statement means that if your video contains timecode information, you will need to have the timecode plugin installed to use Time Mode.

If you are only using AccuFACE 2, it won’t affect anything at all.

Please feel free to ask if you have any other questions. Thanks!

I can’t load videos created by Motion Live, nor the demo into AccuFACE2!!! Two viruses were attached to the recommended codex download. Can Reallusion fix this within the software? I can load the videos into The Video Mocap plugin.

Hi pebutlerpe,

I’d like to check your workflow with you. Could you provide a video showing your operations, or the video source you fed into AccuFACE? You can send it directly to my email: raytsao@reallusion.com

I’ll have our team inspect it to see if there’s any issue. Thanks!

Good news is it’s not mandatory across the board — that warning is scoped specifically to Time Mode, so if you switch to the Timecode option instead (or just stick with regular Time Mode without needing frame-accurate sync), you can run AccuFACE2 without ever touching the Timecode plugin. It only becomes a requirement once you actually need that precise timecode data embedded in your source video.
