  • camera path from a mask

    I know this may be in help but I have deadline issues that only the cow can resolve!

    I have a camera moveing in a circular path I made via a circular mask, pasted onto a camera’s position. Now, can I ‘rotate’ this path in 3d space? So instead of seeing a circle as the camera path in the ‘front’ camera view, would see a line. I hope that makes sense…! I basically want to orbit a camera around an object in the very centre of the composition horizontally rather than vertically.

    cheers

    Swap the path using expressions:

    X=position[1];
    Y=0;
    Z=position[0];

    [X,Y,Z]

    This will derive the X from the circle’s Y and Z from the circle’s X.
