Chapter 15

Known limits

Things Dreamer Pro does not do, or has not proven, in this version.

Playback#

A slideshow runs on Dreamer Pro's own clock. It cannot ride a hosted video.
A Shared Dream on hosted video cannot be gated, because the room's video cannot be held shut. A Local Dream can.
A Local Dream on hosted video builds its own video player, and every one in the scene is alive when the world loads. Nothing limits how many a world carries, so be sparing on Quest.
Unity's Play mode cannot play a Local Dream's video.

Posing needs VR hands. Desktop cannot pose. Two hands on the same part: the first hand keeps it.
Quest animates at most three performers at once. Any others are left as the scene had them until one of the three leaves.
Walk To works on level ground only.
The full face has not been tested in a headset.
A Motion row that spans two Presence nodes has not been tested.
Recording needs VRChat running on the same computer as Unity, and a recording world with the Dreamer recording panel.

Markers cannot be renamed or dragged after they are placed.
There is no zoom-to-fit.
Tracks cannot be reordered.
Split at playhead works on Cue, FX and Presence nodes only.
The Prompt track has at most two lanes, and the Image track at most four.
Ctrl+D on one node duplicates in place. With several selected, and with the right-click Duplicate, the copies land one second later.

A .dream file does not carry Dreamer Pro itself. The recipient needs it installed.
Videos stay links, and the link itself does not travel. Whoever imports the Dream sets their own. Intro cards do not travel.
Importing into a world made by someone else, with different objects, has been tested between projects on one computer, not across another person's world.

On a long Soft Surrender move, the controls can end up off to one side of the window.
A teleport that falls inside a camera shot is skipped.
