    Could someone please explain to me exactly how to set up a camera whose x,y, and z positions are parented to three separate nulls, one for each axis? (What to click, etc.) Thank you very much.

    check out this thread by John Dickinson – it should answer your questions and includes a project file with the camera all set up ready to go. Any further questions feel free to ask….

    You would have to use expression for this.

    I am not all that versed in Expressions, so unfortunatly I will not be giving you the exact syntax that you will need, that said, if you set up your 3 nulls, then alt-click the position of the camera and set it one null, you should be able to figure it out by reading the formula and making the necessary adjustements.

    Hope this helps

    There should be a preset in AE7. Maybe under “utilites”?
