render active camera

[Andy George]

Hi Ron,
I thought the active camera would render, but it’s not so.
It is so. The active camera is the topmost camera in your stack.

Not to be confused with setting a camera from “active camera” to say “camera 2”
in your composition window.

This only allows you to view from the perspective
of “camera 2” but does not actually change which camera is the active camera.

I’ve got to, apparently, turn off the camera in the comp (if it’s above the camera I want). Is that correct?
Correct. Or move it lower in your stack.

Yup, I thought the view was the active camera (with the yellow triangles, since I’ve got both camera views up).

Now if I could only figure out why my rendered .avi’s don’t have sound! (that’s another thread).

THANKS for quick response, Andy.
