3d Camera Motion in After Effects

[Aspergianstar2009]

I am getting no pointer like you did with the pan behind tool. Was there any way to show up the pointer or should it automatically show up thanks for this for once a tutorial where someone speaks clearly and does not zoom through it in 6 seconds

[asemtheawesome]

i find the camera a pain in the butt lol it's complicated. for example when i make couple of titles, if i zoom in one of them it ruins the others!!! this sucks xD

[ReOmiXo3]

Nice Tutorial! but I have a request!!!! please please please please help me out a little!!!!! > o <

[CameraSpikeTV]

How do you rotate the camera

[jawwad594]

ohh man thanksss

[decemberswitch]

i liked the graph thing man thank u

[fiscornioman]

Thank you a lot man, very simple, easy and fast.

[razerx4life]

Can u tell me what FONT are u using at 1:05 

[thenextaisle]

Thanks!

[gin1211]

appreciate

[ravicurious]

omg!!! AE is impossible to use!!!!

[ImNoJadedImsoniac]

@ravicurious no, it just has a very large learning curve. Once you learn it, I'm sure it gets simpler to use

[ravicurious]

@ImNoJadedImsoniac  ya, its alot easier for me now....I've gone through 100's of tutorials and it looks very easy.....

[WinterDJ40]

Thank you! :D

[o0DeathStrike0o]

thank you so much!

[o0DeathStrike0o]

How did you switch to track Z?i pressed C but it only changed the picture of the camera,i dont know how to switch it to Track Z.

[Jeffzz893]

Dude you suck at making tutorials you mumble through everything.....

[FactorXTech]

@Jeffzz893 Well hey, at least he made a successful tutorial, unlike you.

[caives]

thanks, man!

[ProdigyShooter]

you have no clue how much this helped me. i was literally about to sledgehammer the computer.i was trying to figure out how to do this all week for a black ops intro for my channel and i only have after effects for 30 days so this really saved me a lot of time. now i can make more than one before i have to give the program up, thx.

[djaaron23]

that is such a rip off of auto cad

[morayoninuoluwa]

What software is this? is this the motion that goes with the final cut pro?

[peter123site]

when i write some thing i get a white back ground what do i do plz HELP

[reb099]

What Text Do You Use?

[fullboxxskater]

Bank Gothic font, lol Its the Modern Warfare 2 font

[TheSaka24]

what do you press @ 0:22???

First your vidio was small then it got bigger

[slproductions2]

@Rimobgaltis and you do not need to watch this video if you don't want to. please be respectful.

[lmtx45]

i need help. i just added the camera layer, but all i see is a 3d square and nothing else. everything i have in my composition disappears. how can i see everything i have in my project without deleting the camera layer? thnx

[slproductions2]

@lmtx45 that probably means that your 3d layer is above of your other layers, and if you drag it below them in the timeline, then they should appear in front. if the other layers are 3d too, then they are probably further back in 3d space and need to be moved forwards on the Z axis.

[lmtx45]

@slproductions2 actually i managed to solve the problem by myself, thanks anyways. another problem im having is that i can't render the camera movements. It renders everything in my composition but the camera moves. how can i fix this? thanks again.

[slproductions2]

@lmtx45 i'm not sure i understand. do you mean that the camera movements won't play back in the preview, or that you can't export them?

[lmtx45]

@slproductions2 exactly, i can't export them. no camera movements when i playback the rendered file.

[gdsbandit]

thnx for the tut, I was able to explore more of AAE and I got the titles I needed for my montage

thnx so much man.

[slproductions2]

@gdsbandit no problem, happy to help!

[wasssabio]

after i keyframe and go to beggining to play, nothing happens and it just stays right there halps?

[slproductions2]

@wasssabio you need to add a keyframe, move the cursor forwards in the timeline, move the object, it will add another keyframe, then play it back and it should move. if you have one keyframe then there is no animation because you're basically telling it to stay in one spot, but if you have several then you are telling it to move to these positions at this time.

[wasssabio]

@slproductions2 lol i asked a month ago but thx

[kisame2cool]

is there anyway that you could use this on a live video to make camera effects like the ones used in fort minor believe me music video?

[slproductions2]

@kisame2cool yes, this could be used for something like that. video layers can be made 3d as well, and that is probably what they did to some effect.

[elemekutuna]

thanks

[lureyourkidsinvan]

No shit you didn't spend much time on it. That camera move is horrible. It's extreme and is nothing more than adding 3 keyframes. Are you sure you don't want to make a tutorial on how to scale a square?

[edferda]

thank youy your tutorial helped me alot but i think you should get better quality becuz ur quality is bad nice video btw =) thumbs up

[adryana9]

thanks man, finaly I know how to use 3D camera

[sharuto]

awesome tut but how do make multiple of this i see some intro are freakin awesome having loads of this....how do they do that ??? do they need a big picture or what?

[cjsayskate]

thank you! helped alot

[rhyboy1]

Yer I made like a flourish with a title, then an arrow growing from the flourish to another title.

The camera stated out, then zoomed into the flourish, then followed the arrow to the other title, but when I went to play it, ever keyframe i set for the camera where all the same :S

They where all set to my last point, even thought there where like 10 keyframes.

Do I need to set the keyfram manualy? or does it auto do it? Coz I can get 2 keyframes to work, but any more and it goes shit :P

[rhyboy1]

@rhyboy1 Also, it might have been becouse I would stop mid camera zoom and editing or move something, then go back in with the camera.

Do I have to have everything set up and then do the camera in one sweep?

[slproductions2]

well i'm not sure i totally understand, but you should be able to add as many keyframes as you want. and yes, AE does auto keyframe attributes that have the stopwatch selected.

what may be your problem is that lets say you wanted to animate the position of your camera, you have to open up Camera>Transform>Position and click the stopwatch next to position. then any position changes will be auto-keyframed from then on.

you were probably just moving your camera without turning on keyframing.

[rhyboy1]

@slproductions2

OH yea, maybe when I edited something it deselected the stopwatch :S

I dono, I'll fuck around in the morning and post a video response :P

[rhyboy1]

How did you do multiple set points?

I tried and it went fucking crazy.

[slproductions2]

what do you mean by set points? do you mean keyframes?

[rhyboy1]

thanks bro, helped heaps.

[Alm0stJack]

how u get stars

[morganseathomson]

@Alm0stJack the stars are just a random picture placed on as the background layer. (you could search the net, or take a picture yourself)

[8shaky1]

the boxes with 3d and motion tracker etc arent on my screen, what are they called so i can put them back on using the 'window' box at the top of the screen

[tommyandtammy1]

good job.

[chadkaplan19]

nvm I got it... If anyone had the same problem with the ligths, I fixed it turning the shadows on to the Ligth pluguin as well.

FUCK.. that was close.

[flexddd]

great guide helpd alot thanks :D

[Patrickgmpfilms1993]

Well i dont understand :( i want help me how like move camera i got not moving weird?

[pl0xy1]

waa!!!! i jave looking for this but nothing this was also fucking helpful and more :)!!! now i can make my stuff with AAE!! woot

[THExVIDxKID]

awesome tut

thanks.

[ashleysmithd]

Pretty good guide. tnx!

[ThePoonMoon]

click here click that?

[mdiddyjmomma]

Holy random clicking Batman! Short and sweet, not bad. (Thats what she said)

[ytgetter8758]

This is completely useless. You need to take a course in teaching and make the video clearer.

[Benheh]

I have to say, for 3d camera work, this is not the way I'd advise going about doing it. A much simpler way to do it is to use a null object, and parent the camera to the null object. Then, where ever you move the null object, the camera follows. You then just change the orientation of the null object to change where the camera looks. It adds some versatility, as you can key frame x y z much more easily. Nice job though, your tutorial wasn't bad, it was short and sweet. :)

[ZROnull]

you suck...

[MjolnirVanguard]

Nice tutorial but how would you move from one title to another keeping the same 3d camera pane.

[guSChuD2009]

I know to do that in Sony Vegas and is so much more simple O.o

[Agentdezo]

Well, that's because Sony Vegas is more for simple options, it is a good program for game editing and stuff like that, just not too good on intro because you can't have a much advanced options or details as you see in Adobe After Effects.

[DarkNoex]

After effects, is better than sony vegas to make "effects" .. make sense huh..?

After effects is much more advanced to edit with.

If you want to make a simple 3D view, then go ahead and use vegas...

[MIAskater94]

my backround doesnt look 3D. i checked off that little box you said but nothing happens

[jcb1972]

For those of you having difficulty @ 2:09 select your comp panel then zoom out so you can see the two points that he is dragging into place.

[Votypeks]

THX !!

[slproductions2]

that is because you don't have the cursor on top of the anchor point. If you move it to the little dot, it will become active and you can drag it.

[sharpstylez1]

uhm when i click the pan/behind tool it just shows a cursor with like a little x on it like it cant do it?

[Fr0sTBiTev2]

fuck u nigga im starlight productions lol naw jk but me and a friend have starlight to u should join maybe

[starwars34]

thank you sooo much!

[chrisp84]

[funnyvideos102]

Thanks! Now I can Finish my new logo

Im going to subscribe and hope you can sub back....ill be making my first adobe after fx vid soon

[shivhead3000]

Nice!

[slproductions2]

you have to press the "toggle switches/modes" button at the very bottom if you can't see the 3d button.

[pcpp84]

This is really good.

Thanks for the tutorial

[ThroughTheHead]

Great video.
