3D Camera export OUT of After Effects

[Morebo]

Select all of your camera keyframes and copy them. Open up notepad (windows) or another text editor and paste your keyframes here.
I think you could also paste them in to MS Excel, but haven’t tried that. There might be some tweaking to get the camera data to work in XSI. Never tried XSI though. But it works for other applications like particle illusion.

Thanks again.
