  Add camera with 35mm preset and default position

  Posted by Jake Hawley on August 15, 2010 at 8:22 pm

  Hey there. Two questions.

  I’ve looked around for a few hours but haven’t found anything that will allow me to add a camera and set it to 35mm.

  Also, Would like to position the camera at it’s default position. by default I mean how AE adds a camera when you do it through the menu bar.

  The script I’m working on is fairly simple. Adding a null and parented camera to an active comp. I’ve checked out a few camera rigging scripts but wanted something to how I already work with cameras.

  Thanks,
  Jake

  
app.beginUndoGroup("Camera and Null");

  var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

  ///CREATE CAMERA///

  var w = myComp.width /2 ;
  var h = myComp.height /2 ;
  var newCamera = myComp.layers.addCamera("Camera",[w,h]);

  ///CREATE NULL///
  var myNull = myComp.layers.addNull();
  myNull.threeDLayer = true;

  ///RENAMES NULL//
  myNull.name = "Camera Control";

  ///PARENTS CAMERA TO NULL//
myComp.layer("Camera").parent = myNull;
