  camera path from a mask

  Posted by Nico Jones on November 1, 2005 at 9:32 am

  I know this may be in help but I have deadline issues that only the cow can resolve!

  I have a camera moveing in a circular path I made via a circular mask, pasted onto a camera’s position. Now, can I ‘rotate’ this path in 3d space? So instead of seeing a circle as the camera path in the ‘front’ camera view, would see a line. I hope that makes sense…! I basically want to orbit a camera around an object in the very centre of the composition horizontally rather than vertically.

  cheers

  Swap the path using expressions:

  X=position[1];
  Y=0;
  Z=position[0];

  [X,Y,Z]

  This will derive the X from the circle’s Y and Z from the circle’s X.
