  expression slider on a camera

  Posted by Malcolm Desoto on April 26, 2011 at 12:03 am

  I did a search but couldn’t find this. I apologize if it’s been covered before.

  I just want to control a camera’s position wiggle with a slider and can’t seem to get them to work together.

  I’d also like to use Separate XYZ on a camera. Can you only do this using SureTarget?

  Thanks

  You can’t apply a Slider Control to a camera because a Slider Control is an effect and cameras don’t accept effects. You could however, parent the camera to a 3D null, and apply the slider to the null. If you have a version of AE that supports separate dimensions (I can’t remember when that came in) you should be able to right click on the camera’s position property and select Separate Dimensions. Does that not work?
