    Hey guys,

    So I’m using After Effects CS3 and I have created a wall and a floor that are perpendicular to one another. I then added a camera facing the wall. The problem I am experiencing is that I want the camera to glide toward the wall, turn 90 degrees down and shoot toward the floor. However, for some reason, the camera “pitches” in the middle of the animation and spins in a big circle for one revolution. I have tried over and over to correct this glitch but it keeps happening. I even tried to spin the camera in the opposite direction while it’s moving but the spin still occurs.

    I can render, export and post a video if anyone needs a visual. Thank you all so much in advance!

    -Drew

    Maybe this is a camera orienting issue? Perhaps, with the camera selected, you want to hit command-option-o, or contro-alt-o on windows, to turn auto-orienting OFF. Then the camera will act like a real-world camera, that is, without a brain.
    Is that the problem?
