    I here!
    Im create a null to control camera target, i can move this layer like a point of interest, camera follow this layer like his point of interest all work fine, but i want add a new feature, with a expression controler checkbox i want link movement of the camera with this layer that control its point of interest, if the checkbox if on, target and camera move together, if i uncheck the checkbox the camera move independently of this layer that control his target.

    Can we made something?

    thanks!

    Unless you keyframe the checkbox, this is not possible.
    And even then it would be a slow script to execute.

    Easier would be to Parent your Camera and ‘Target Layer’ both to a 2nd Null and use that to move them both.
