Hi hoping someone can help me out.
I have added an object on to ground of a scene and i want the object to stay where it is and not to follow the camera when it moves, how can i achieve this?
Thanks

the actual camera.
The scene is me facing a brickwall i place an object on the ground and then move away, the actual camera follows my movement but i want the object that i placed down to stay where i put it. i hope that makes sense

If you want it to stay in the same place on the screen, you can:
1. Save Frame As… > Photoshop File
2. Go to Photoshop and cut the object out. Save the image.
3. Import that file back into AE and place it over your footage. It’ll just sit there.Or, you can do the same thing in AE by duplicating your footage, freezing the top layer on the frame you want, and mask out everything but the object.
If I’m misunderstanding you, and you want it to stay put on the ground, I advise you to invoke Newton’s First Law: things in motion tend to stay in motion; things at rest tend to stay at rest.
If I’m misunderstanding you in a different way, then I probably don’t have the expertise to help.
