  • 3d Camera Track setting solids or nulls

    Posted by Lothar Wieland on September 27, 2014 at 11:43 am

    Hello, i have a fully 3d camera tracked AE project with inserted solid planes. Now i want to add new nulls or solids, but ae with the right mouse click only gives me choices for adding *solid and camera* or *Null and Camera*. I already have a camera. How do I get the dialog adding *only* a solid or null?

    I just noticed this anomaly recently on a few systems. Which version of AE are you using and which OS?

    FWIW, to restrict the right-click (contextual) popup from offering additional ‘add camera’ options, the first time you select an option, after tracking, ensure that you select ‘Add Camera, Shadow Catcher, Text/Null/Solid’.

    Thanks for your info Roland. Answer to your questions: Versions: AE CC 2014. OS: WIN7 Done before to restrict from further camera options: Add groundplane and origin and adding one solid with camera. In the next steps it work perfect adding soldis and nulls without camara option as desired. This strange behaviour was not initially after designing the project, it occured after a time during the project…I cannot reproduce this strange behaviour…
