  • Setting my 3d layer to be right in front of camera

    Posted by Andrew Johnston on April 16, 2009 at 12:11 am

    Hey everyone…

    I have been editing about a 30 second peice and i’m maybe 15 seconds into it and all this time i’ve been moving deep into my 3d space.

    I want to ad a new 3d layer but when i make it 3d it goes back to 0,0,0.

    And I can’t see it because I’m somewhere else.

    Is there a way of figuring out where I am? What my coordinates are? I can’t find it? or is there and easy way to click and layer and just bring it in front of where my current camera position is?

    If you’re using After Effects CS4, you can use the Center In View command to move a layer so that its anchor point is centered in the current view.
