  • AE: Auto camera movement

    Posted by Stefan Kucurski on May 27, 2011 at 2:20 am

    Hello,
    I’m a beginer in AE world.
    I wanted to ask, is there any posibility to create auto camera movement.
    For example.
    I want to make me singing od the virtual stage ( I will use keying tehnique ) and I want to camera has automatic movement.
    Is there any posibility for that?
    It’s very difficult for me to create a camera movement for whole song,cause i have a slow PC.
    Thank you in advance.

    What do you mean by automatic camera movement? Will you have camera moves when you shoot chroma (green screen) and then try to replicate that in AE with the virtual stage? If so, then you need a camera tracking software/plugin like Camera Tracker from the Foundry or Boujou, Syntheyes… that will allow you to track the camera move and apply that data to the AE Camera automatically. You will need to have tracking points setup when you shoot the chroma.

    Thank you,but that is not a thing what I need.
    My english is bad.
    I’m shooting a object in front of a Green screen with a static camera.
    So when I put that object in front of a prepared background I will ad a camera in AE.
    So I was asking is there any posibility that AE CAMERA has an option for automatic moving in space,so I don’t need to play with a position manualy.

    No “automatic” animation that I know of. I’m sure though that you can find templates with camera moves on the many template sites out there, but with a custom designed virtual set it may be hard to find a good match and not for a whole clip.
    I suggest doing a search on “animating camera in AE” – you will find many useful tutorials out there.
