Moving Views Around
Ok here’s another noobish question. I keep checking my work from different angles to see how it looks. I’m using the orbit camera to move around and view from different angles. Every time I move it though it leaves a key frame. Is there a way to swing around and look from different angles without using the orbit camera or without it leaving a key frame? Im finding I have to keep going back and deleting key camera frames it’s leaving that I dont’ want in the compotion.
Thanks,

Use those tools in one of the Custom Views. Click on the Active Camera button at the bottom of the Comp window to reveal them.

Ok. I think I’m following that. So if I just want to spin around and zoom in and out and what not to view my work i can drop down to say Custom View 1 and do it there and it will not leave key frames for my active camera. Then when I want to get back to adding new camera angles and zooms i can just switch back up to Active Camera to set the key frames I DO want.

Wow it’s complicated and I’m just scratching the surface here. Thanks!

Think of the camera tools as a way to drive your Active Camera when in that view. In the custom view they control a sort of all seeing eye, separate from the camera. You can see your camera in custom views, and move it around with axis handles just like any other object/layer.

I saw that that you CAN infact move the camera around when in one of the other views. I guess it will take me a while just to get past the basics! 🙁
