  • How to locate an active camera layer within a template

    Posted by Drew Keo on February 6, 2012 at 2:50 pm

    Hello,

    Purchased a AE template online. There is no final composition/layer, it is all broken up. Within one of the compositions/layers, there is a an “active camera” and I can’t locate the layer. I want to be able to slow the movement down, which I’ve done successfully before in other templates when I’ve been able to locate the layer. Is there any way I can search for the active layer camera so that I can see keyframes. The “shy” switch did not reveal anything.

    Perhaps there isn’t a camera at all. If this is the case, then create one.

    If, as others have suggested, there is no camera, it could be that your layers are all parented to a layer that is animated.
