  Camera will not accept effects

  Posted by Peter Lipphardt on February 18, 2010 at 7:42 pm

  I was attempting to put a simple wiggle on my camera in AE, and noticed that not only was nothing happening, the effect wasn’t showing up at all.

  In fact, if I highlight the camera, the entire effects window greys out.

  I have even tried parenting the camera to a null object with a wiggle with no luck.

  I only have one layer in the project (A comp layer) besides the camera, and it is in 3d.

  Is there a setting that could be causing this? My machine was used by another producer before me, and I have noticed he had some very wacky settings in it.

  So, if this sounds familiar, any help would be great!

  I am talking about the wiggle behavior expression. I just called it an effect out of habit.

  But right now my main concern is, what could be preventing a wiggle expression from working on a camera?

  I had tried dragging it over. I have tried manually typing it (alt-clikcing the position key and typing in the wiggle).

  So far, nothing works.

  Yeah, I have tried active camera, camera 1, all the basics.

  It seems like a setting has been changed somewhere, and I just cannot figure out what.

  I have turned auto orient on and off, I have tried adjustment and null layers, but so far no luck.
