  3d Camera Move

  Posted by Christian Moschen on November 18, 2008 at 2:26 pm

  Hey, I have a problem with a actually really simple Camera-Move. But while I move the Camera in this project it suddenly (at 1:10) turns 90° but I didn’t told it to.
  For you to better understand, what I mean, I upladed a reduced project File (480kb):

  Just rename it as an .aep file.

  It would be great if anyone has a solution to stop this.

  You have a 2-point camera setup – ie. a position and a point of interest (POI). Logically, the POI should be ahead of the camera’s position. But when you animate the camera’s position without being aware of its POI, you may encounter a situation (such as yours) where the camera’s position is ahead of the POI.

  The end result is that at the point where position is ahead of POI, you will get a 180 degree (not 90degrees) camera move.

  To solve your problem, remove the camera’s POI by selecting the camera and clicking CTRL+ALT+O to open up the camera’s Auto-Orient dialog window. Then deselect Orioent Towards Camera.
