Camera usage and workflow
Hi – I was wondering if there is a plugin or technique that can simplify the process of animating a single camera throughout a long and large composition. [I know that there is ‘sure target’ but in the example below the camera movement seems very smooth but yet never seems to stay entirely still when slowing down to focus on the particular scenes]
Is the norm to use a combination of nulls linked to the camera to give more control or is there an expression used so that the camera hovers slightly rather than coming to a stand still ?It just seems like a very tedious process if you or the client wish to change the pace of the animation afterwards.
Any advice would be great

1. Learn the FREE “Sure Target 2.0” Plugin from videocopilot.net. This can solve 90% of your problems most of the time.
https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/sure_target_2/2. If you make your keyframes HOLD keyframes while placing your positions keyframes, then turn them all back to animated keyframes at the end you will get less funky twists in your motion path.
3. Sometimes it is easier to simply attach your whole scene to a null, and animate the scene rather than the camera.

I think the thing I find frustrating is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to overlap xyz camera paths in the graph editor (like you can do in maya & c4d). Thanks for the feedback all the same.
