  • Best way to move the entire camera?

    Posted by David Del on August 26, 2007 at 2:29 pm

    I want to move the entire camera, free moving without having to worry about the p-o-i etc. Is there a way of doing it besides using the X,Y,Z axis individually?

    You can also move the camera by dragging it around in one of the custom views, leaving another window open, showing the camera’s view as you work.

    Don’t forget to switch off the camera’s auto-orient. (layer>transform>auto-orient)

    This is the most complete stuff I know of for Camera and Nulls.

    This post by Chris Smith on how he uses Nulls with camera movements. The whole thread is emlightening:

    That’s the link to the project files, the thread explains.
