  Camera follows a stroke

  Posted by Martyn Morris on August 8, 2007 at 4:42 pm

  Hi there,
  I have followed the “Growing Design Elements in After Effects” tutorial.
  I am now trying to take it further by adding a camera.
  I have added an expression from the point of interest to follow the position of the stroke.

  The camera follows the stroke but in a disjointed way that looks clumsy. I’m trying to achieve the look of a camera following a car on a track using the stroke as kind of trail.
  I would be most for any help grateful.

  Thanks, Martyn.

  Perhaps set all your keyframes between the start and finish to ‘rove across time’ ?

  Hi, Thanks for the reply.
  I have the keyframes set to rove across time, the problem is getting the camera to follow the stroke smoothly so that the stroke stays at the bottom of the frame instead of circling all corners.

  Thanks, Martyn.
