Hey everyone, I’m attempting to use Cinemachine to track my player, but whenever the camera pans to track the player’s movements the player object jitters around. I’m using a rigidbody2D and velocity to move my player around; I’ve seen jittering issues attributed to calling movement for a rigidbody in Update() instead of FixedUpdate(), but I’m calling all player movement functions inside of FixedUpdate().

public bool _canMove = true;

public Vector2 _newScenePosition;
// Our speed & speed limit values
float _moveSpeed = 5f;
float _speedLimiter = 0.8f;
// Our empty floats for our movement vector
float moveX;
float moveY;
Vector2 _moveDirection;
