    Hey I’m working on a project that involves multiple CC Mr. Mercury’s.
    What I’m trying to do is have multiple paint colors fall down one right after each other in a rainbow colors. And now I want to pan across (left to right) with more colors coming down. But I’m having a way hard time with the camera. It keeps cutting of all the the paint layers!!! Its driving me crazy! I can’t figure it out. I’m not sure if you need to have the mercury/paint layers on 3d or the null/camera on 3d? i don’t know! i need help please!!! thanks

    Not much we can do from here. Your use of the term “cutting off” suggests you don’t have adequately sized your MrMercury layers.
    A 3D scene requires you understand AE’s version of 3D.
    And that assumes you understand how to precomp 3D layers into your main comp.
    But why do you need 3D?
