[SelymCraft]

Lol Pickwick...

[supremereen]

thanks for the tutorial! clear and straight forward :)

[Yceb0x]

The 'Zed' axis... XD I forgot he was Canadian. That's just plain awesome.

[StandingWhy]

@Yceb0x He's not Canadian, he's English. The correct way of pronouncing 'z' in English is 'zed'.

[NLnerdland]

@StandingWhy no the way of pronouncing 'z' in Canadian is 'zed'

[StandingWhy]

@NLnerdland eh? where did that come from?

[NLnerdland]

@StandingWhy a magic place

[Jagahon]

@ryansaballer1 He doesn't show it in use, but the Z Axis is the answer to your problem.

[Weeklycap]

Hey dudeinadrama i would love your response cuz i have a problem! :( I used this, and it worked, i then did the same thing to another clip in the same video. Now my first camera is not working, i can see the red little box moving on the screen the way its supposed to but the video isnt moving :S but the second camera panning in my current IS working. Ive checked settings on both and they are the same but only one of em are working... yes i have linked camera & Null right on both.

[realtuty]

@Dudeinadrama hello i was wondering if it is possible to have two different cameras on to apply to one thing and one to apply to another thing please reply i need help

[realtuty]

[MADubstep]

[TearikiProductions]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

[soulseeker0111]

thanks for clear and easy to understand tutorial :)

[ghostface835]

TIP!! Also select all the key frames ,so that they all are yellow and then press F9(this is called easy ease) It will make it more flued.

[nightnoize18]

thanks, explained that very well

[waboyto]

for some reason though my box (x/y/z tool) doesn't let me move it....why might that be?

[DeathCon88]

How do I do multiple separate pans in a composition?

[jPaulsson]

Omfg, stop misleading. It clearly says zooming but this is paning... Im still trying to learn too zoom, fuck you.

[djwudy]

@jPaulsson he tells you at the end, if you had an attention span longer than a goldfish you might learn something

[Unknownssj]

@jPaulsson Zooming is explained right at the end.

[Geistsoul13]

How do you do that cool zoom on your mouse?

[petersalu1]

You sound like that guy from little Brittan :P

[bldubl]

[jingavi3t123]

You know the red box? is that the view where everything in the box is the only thing you see? or is it the screen?

[NoOrdinaryCity]

Yours are brilliantly efficient tutorials that make the most of our lives by not wasting a second. Bravo!

TheAngel . com

[RavenStone88]

I understood your tutorial better than most. You actually took the time to zoom in and/or highlight the things you were talking about as you were showing how to use the camera. Much appreciated. Only uneducated people would have had an issue understanding you. So ignore them.

[DJSlamper]

what do you record with :D!

[fluxboxdotdk]

Awesome tuts mate!

[xCrosSxKnInE]

[Dudeinadrama]

@rerednawkrad I'm English and live in England this is how English people speak in England.

[TheERGO]

@Dudeinadrama haha that guy rerednawkrad is retarded.

[MrSamuelPascal]

@Dudeinadrama what's funny is that he says to speak with proper dictation and pronunciation, when he who said this can not even properly type. lol

[HighFivesForGod]

@rerednawkrad nice punctuation.

[ubernaffa]

@rerednawkrad That's actually painfully ironic.

[franfran97]

@rerednawkrad local language?????

[JohnThePanpire]

@rerednawkrad

He is retard

[ExoticBeatzEnt]

@rerednawkrad Fuckin hater.

[honfamily]

@rerednawkrad Haaaaa, Wait, HAAAAAAHAHA. You are so fucking stupid that it is hurtfully sad. Seriously, get some decent education.

[FluentialCOD]

@rerednawkrad dumbass

[123nafster]

@rerednawkrad how do you not know what a british accent is?

[chaserthewolf]

@rerednawkrad Someone is an idiot.

[DJSlamper]

@rerednawkrad duude plz shut up...

[Adavur]

@rerednawkrad Thank you for making me laugh.

[JesiMentol]

@rerednawkrad

No one came here to get an English lesson. Especially not from some pompous Dick. If you do not like it, go find another tutorial that better suits your grammatical needs, you arse.

[tobyhawk828]

@rerednawkrad lol stupid fat american from like oklahoma

[Uverworldfanz]

@rerednawkrad I have a feeling you're from india.

[RewaMarlin12]

<< agrees with lovelyDisat3r, awesome tuts for us newbies in AE... you differently have a new subscriber. keep them tuts coming m8!

[LovelyDisast3r]

Tyvm for taking your time to make us amateurs tutorials :), they're extremely helpful.

[Dudeinadrama]

@LovelyDisast3r No problem! I learnt what I know from free tutorials and I like to take what I've learned and put it together into something more accessible :3

[SabaskaTheNoob]

@Dudeinadrama When I tried to make a tutorial my voice got abit like yours, (dont mean to offend) very salivating and sloppy, but I found that after much practice, my speaking techniques improved and now I am clear in speaking with a mic

[extemecomp]

[Dudeinadrama]

@extemecomp Thank you very much :D

[04jeffreyr]
