  • Can’t figure out what’s going on with my camera!

    Posted by Malcolm Desoto on November 21, 2008 at 7:24 am

    I have a few 3D comps on the time line and a camera.

    I set the stop watch for the camera’s position properties, I advances one second in the time line, Move the camera forward, no key frame is added.

    The camera moves, but no additional key frames are created! I can’t figure out what’s going on so that I can’t create new key frames by moving the camera around!

    Any help?

    Anyone?!?!?!?!

    I’m really stuck. I can’t finish this project without being able to animate this project. I have no idea what’s wrong.

    I have four 3D comps in the time line with the continually rasterize switch on.

    If I open a brand new project, the camera seems to be working fine.

    Also, AE isn’t creating previews. I don’t think it’s running out of RAM. Usually, when you advance in the time line, you’ll see the blue bar at the bottom buffering as it generates a preview for that frame.

    It’s not even doing that. I have to toggle in between resolutions to even get it to preview.

    Anyone know what’s going on?!

    There are no cameras in the precomps.

    I ended up precomping the whole thing and importing it into a brand new project.

    It’s working, but it’s a huge pain to have to dig into comp after comp just to change something.

    I’m not sure what happened with the original comp.
