  How to stop the camera and move the world

  hi—

  I had posted a couple days ago in “After Effects”, but this is probably a more expression-intensive issue appropriate for this forum.

  I have some live footage taken from a moving car looking ahead down the road. I have performed Track Camera in After Effects and have created a 3D Tracker Cam, adding a few solids into the scene. The track looks good.

  My issue is this:

  I’d like to create a duplicate composition which is visually identical, but has a stationary camera. The solids within this comp would be the only moving objects.

  I believe I can use an expression on a null which inherits the inverse of my original camera’s position, and then parent my solids to that, but when I try to handle the orientation issues I begin to get lost.

  Does this sound like the right approach for this issue? And is there a straightforward solution that I may have overlooked?

  Thanks so much for any ideas.

  Mike
