Camera zoom to certain spot

Hello all I have a large image in in a smaller composition and I'm trying to zoom in on a certain spot but the camera zooms only on the center. I tried moving the anchor point but that didn't work. Is it possible to zoom in wherever you want to without position keyframes?

If you're trying to animate the camera zoom control you have two options. First, have the camera orientation set to point of interest. Now the point of interest points to the center of the frame. Change the position of the point of interest and you change the framing of the zoom. It is difficult to see and animate this point. You can simplify the process by attaching the point of interest of the camera to a null using an expression. Simply hold down the Alt/option key and click the stopwatch variable for point of interest in the timeline and then drag the pickwhip to the position property of a 3D null.
The second option is to have the camera orientation turned off and use the orientation or rotation controls to point the camera where you want it to look.
Neither of these options is as easy as simply animating the position of the camera. Information on basic expressions, camera orientation and animating in 3D space is in the help files.

  • Use camera zooms only in nested comps, not parent comp?

    hello
    I recently received some advice on a project where I was having some vector art pixelization problems during camera zooms--I was told that camera zooms should not be made in the main comp, but that instead, they should be made in the precomps (or nested comps) to avoid this pixelization problem. It seems to me that AE should be able to propogate clean, illustrator vector graphics during camera zooms, all the way up to a main comp, through the use of the "continuously rasterize" and "collapse transformation" options.. but perhaps this is not so?
    can anyone elaborate on this issue?
    thanks
    LML

    If vector images are set to continuously rasterize you can scale them or push the camera into them as far as you like with no problems. If certain effects have been applied to your eps or ai files they will be rasterized when imported into AE so they will behave exactly like a raster image. There's nothing you can do about that. Turning CR on or off will have no effect. If CR isn't fixing the pixelization issues then you've applied a layer effect somewhere in the chain that's causing the image to rasterize. Sometimes these problems can be fixed by pre-composing and doing the scaling in the pre-comp (layer effects). Sometimes they can't. Most of the time, if the problem is in the Illustrator file you can fix it by editing the original and removing the layer effects applied in Illustrator.
    You can change the antialiasing quality of vector graphics in the file interpretation options from faster to more accurate. You'll find it under More Options.

  • Camera zoom-out

    Hi.
    I'm using Motion 4 and I'm trying to achieve a camera zoom-out with some conditions. Here's a image to explain the size and the type of zoom I'm looking for. My background images have 3072x1536 pixels and my canvas in Motion is defined to be 1024x768 pixels.
    As you can see by the picture, I want to scale my camera view but I only want to do it through the upper right diagonal so that my bottom left point stays at the same place.
    I've already tried to change the camera between framing and viewpoint but If I got my layers appart in 3D space they all start to phase out because of the perspective. Considering a flat image on the background, how can I scale/zoom-out my camera to do the effect on the image?
    Thank you!

    Walk backwards, as there is no zoom in video mode. Either that, or look for an app that provides "video zoom".

  • I have footage that needs to be green screened. One of the cameras zoomed and panned, is there anyway to lock foreground and background so the motion is consistent

    I shot two cameras for green screen editing but one of the operators zoomed and panned so the key is good but when the camera zooms it looks like the subjects are floating, any idea how to synchronize the foreground to background

    I think you will need the camera tracker effect in AfterEffects, It would be best to ask in their forum.

    You apparently have the Word Wrap feature activated for the arrow object. Select the Arrow, then go to the Wrap Inspector and deselect the Object Causes Wrap checkbox.

  • My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters

    My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters. Is there a fix for this or does anyone have an idea what may be going on? I have looked at my fonts and everything seems to be working just fine. I can't quite figure out why this only happens to certain text and not others. But I can't read half of the pages on the web because of this. I can copy the mixed up text out of Safari and past it in another application and the copy is in perfect english then.
    an example of what I am talking about is below:

    Here is what it says when I copy the same characters out of Safari and paste them below:

  • Lost the Trackball Camera Zoom Function

    Hole everyone,
    I recently did an upgrade on to my phone, which caused the Lost of the Trackball Camera Zoom Function. I was wondering how do I get it back??
    I have to manually zoom similar to how my old bb used to do by goin back n forth in the menu to click zoom in / zoom out. It was so much easier when the scroll bar was there and all you have to do is scroll up and down.
    Plz can anyone tell me how to get this back or if I have to upload an app to put it back
    Plz n Thank you

    Hey FieryT,
    Does the trackball still work? Or it just doesn't work when the Camera app is launched?
    If it works everywhere else, just not within the Camera, I would suggest a clean reload of the device software.
    Be sure to back up your device prior to the reload as all data will be wiped clean.
    Article KB11320 will show you how to do the clean reload.
    After the load completes, test the zoom on the camera before restoring any information.
    It is recommended to selectively restore data. KB10339 will walk you through this process.
    Thanks and have a great day!

  • How to make a crop looks like a camera zoom?

    If I crop a part of a video and want to make the crop looks like a camera zoom... is there a "zoom transition" to put before and after the crop part? Million thanks if someone can solve this technical question...

    Let's zoom in.
    Select the clip and move the playhead to where you want the zoom to start in the timeline.
    Activate the Crop function Shift-C and selec the middle crop function in the top left.
    Press the keyframe button.
    Move the playhead to where you want the zoom to end.
    Crop and reposition the selection as you like in the viewer.
    Click Done.

  • Camera zoom not working on 3g 3.0 upgrade

    i upgraded to 3.0 and then downloaded camera zoom app it do's not work apple said i to delete it and redownload it if that do's not work contact the maker he said they put a update out but apple needs to prove it frist . that can i do???

    Thanks for the pointer on the wired Mic, in all my efforts to make the application work with bluetooth, I completely forgot about the most obvious solution.
    Can't see the forest for the trees.
    As for writing in Caps, I have to admit I never really paid much attention to caps or no caps. I simply typed and if I hit the lock button I continued on.
    Your observation and willingness to share your observation with me is greatly appreciated. I honestly didn't know the implication or perception of typing in all Caps. It is not nor was it my intention to shout. Sorry.
    Again, thanks for taking the time to help

    Hi LynnAshley!
    You may want to try reinstalling iPhoto by deleting it from your Launchpad on your MacBook Pro, then re-downloading it from the Mac App Store:
