  • AE camera controls in v17.5.1

    Posted by John Blake on December 1, 2020 at 7:14 pm

    I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but I just updated to latest AE release and the camera controls have been changed. I can no longer control the camera’s position with the right mouse button or by pushing the center button down. I hate it!! You’re now stuck with only the left click button. You have to go to the menu where they’ve added new camera movement icons. Did I say I HATE IT?

    Is there a way around this?

    The camera controls now allow you to hold 1 for Orbit, 2 for Pan, or 3 for Dolly while dragging the left mouse button through the viewport. (I change mine to Pan, Dolly, and Orbit instead to match C4D in the Keyboard Shortcuts editor.)

    To navigate with a 3-button mouse like you did before, hold the Alt key while dragging with the middle or right buttons.
