Navigation difficulties in with a camera in the enormous 3d scene

Hello.

I noticed that the movement of the camera in After Effects is really hard to navigate with compared to a regular program of 3D as 3ds max or maya. I have this huge 3-d scene in Element3d (Copilot plugin) where I have a billboard somewhere in the scene which I can't tell the exact coordinates. This element3d scene is a composition where trying to composite a mp4 video to my right on the display panel which is really hard because I can't understand the exact 3d coordinates of the screen of the anglo-saxon is much trial and error in positioning of the video and then move the camera just to make sure that it of really on the display panel and does not move away from him so that the camera moves to the other angular perspectives. To help me to correctly position the video I'm trying to move the camera around the sides of the billboard to make sure that the video is just sticking to the screen of the anglo-saxon, but I can't move the camera properly... in a regular program of 3d like maya or 3ds max I could easily place the camera at each angle of the scene but with After effects It is almost impossible to see from all angles in a 3d stage. So my question is if it is possible to configure the camera so that I can easily move it around like in 3ds max?

Depending on your project, it is often easier to use a null value to animate your camera position. Think of it as putting the camera on a cart with a jib arm attached. Here's the very simple procedure.

  1. Add a camera at two knots in the scene
  2. Add a null 3D scene
  3. Hold down the SHIFT key and parent value null to the camera
  4. The null value is aligned with the position of the camera
  5. Remove the Parenthood of the null value to the camera
  6. The camera for the null parent
  7. Animate the value null

I think this is a much easier solution and this is my standard workflow to animate the position of the camera in a 3D scene. It also works with a camera of a node, but I prefer to attach the Point of interest POI 3D with a simple expression null and pass null around my scene according to the needs. You can also attach the null focus makes it much easier to animate your camera.

  • Free disc of Premiere Elements with a camera. The serial No. work provided with the first part, but not with the elements of the part. Why is this?

    Hi, I'm new to this bear so please with me. I have a free disc of Premiere Elements with a new canon camera and install it on my pc windows 8.1. After installation I have a shortcut for first elements and a shortcut for the elements, I guess that first for the video and photo elements. The drive came with a serial No. who worked with first, but when I opened elements, he asked for a serial No. but when I tried the same series only.  It says this serial No. is not valid for Adobe photoshop elements. I'm something wrong, I am missing a serial number, do I have to pay to use the side elements (photo editor), and if so I don't understand why he loaded the two programs on a disk I thought it was a big split in video and photo program.

    Help, please.

    First elements and Photoshop are separated with different serial numbers. Usually adobe up in the trial for the other disk. Are you sure you have PES as BEFORE? A PSE serial number starts with 1057.

    I bought Adobe Elements with my camera.  Can I switch to Lightroom with some type of credit for the purchase, I already have?

    I don't think that there is any such path upgrade to Lightroom. Lightroom can work with Photoshop Elements or Photoshop as a complementary product to improve and provide features that are not possible in Lightroom itself. For example, with Lightroom, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to remove unwanted objects from an image. Or, there may be sometimes a few necessary dusting that Lightroom cannot do just effectively on its own. If Lightroom offers an easy way to move from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements image in order to more easily accomplish some of these specialized tasks.

    When sharing my project there are some clips that show a red screen with a camera saying error. How can I solve these clips if I can share the project correctly?

    This happens usually when the import process was not completed. If you have the original camera card - or a copy of the computer of the map - you can probably use the re-import command (on the file menu) to fix things. In addition, it is possible that the original media is imported, but this transcoding was not. If you have chosen to optimise upon import, try to select clips in the browser and transcoding to optimized.

  • Problems with Benq DC C 700 digital camera on the Satellite L30 105

    Hello

    I have problems with my digital camera when I connect it to my laptop. Whenever I connect the camera to the laptop freezes and gives me the blue screen of death, in other words, the screen you get when a fatal error occurs, and then my laptop must be restarted. If this happens whenever I connect the two.

    I tried the bios update and install the latest orders, but nothing seemed to work. I contacted the support center in Benq and they told me to contact Toshiba as they are sure that the problem is not with the camera. So please someone, if you have any ideas or suggestions or solutions, I'll be happy to hear.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all if you need Toshiba support, you will need to contact Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. This forum here is only a forum for users and you won't find anyone from Toshiba here.

    On the other hand;
    It seems that the Satellite L30-105 has been bundled with Vista. Using this operating system on the L30?
    I read on many problems with the 3rd devices, software, and Windows Vista.

    I put t know what said you, but eventually the software webcam is not 100% compatible with Vista.
    You should know that the BSOD appears if there is a serious hardware problem or software. I don t think that this problem was caused by a hardware issue and so there is only one possibility; software compatibility issues.

    In case you I would update the Vista of the State and I will ask manufacturing webcam if it s 100% compatible with Vista.

    Good luck

  • Image problems with the camera on the Satellite A200 - 14 d

    2 days ago, I bought my laptop and the image on cam doesn't seem right to me. It's a little blurry, as very many lines through it. It resembles nothing of the image from a camera with 1.3 Mp should look like. It's even better on my old cam... I tried changing the settings but nothing works.

    Anyone know what the problem with my camera? Please help me because I do not know what to do...

    Hello

    As you said, it is a 1 pixel cam. 3 MB and you should not expect too much of this cam.

    But you can change some settings to improve the quality of the image
    Check the options in the "Assistant camera".
    In the "Properties", you can define Image settings like sharpness, contrast, saturation, etc.
    The quality of the image also depends on the standard photo as jpeg folder, bmp and the size of the image.
