[Ben Mettler] ” I don’t have a camera and trying to set one up so that it has the same perspective as the top view seems like a pain. Any ideas? “
If you can display your composition at 100% size on your monitor, you can save screen grabs, frame by frame, through your animation. Be sure to turn off the view of masks and layer controls. Re-import these as an image sequence, crop to size, and render out.
This can be automated some if you’ve got some keyboard macro software and a lot of time, but otherwise setting up the camera might be less painful.
