Re: Panning Effect Across Multiple Polaroids

My best guess is that this is the problem:

The camera has a point of interest which is focused on the comp at the moment. If you move the position of the camera, you don't change the point of interest. (Like a string with one end stuck to a table and one end in your hand, when you move your hand, the part of the string stuck to the table stays there, which in this case is your point of interest.

Ofcourse you can just move the polaroid comp across the cable but a better way of doing this is moving the camera, which leaves room for more complex camera movements later on. OK here we go:

An easy way to make camera movements more simple is link the camera to a "null object." This (sort of) unlinks the point of interest. Here's how to do this.

Go to LAYER > NEW >> NULL OBJECT.

a new invisible layer is added to the comp, the null object.

Now Link the Camera Layer to the Null Object Layer.

If you want, you can make the Null Layer a 3d layer.
Use the position properties of the null layer to pan the linked camera.

Easy as that. Good Luck!
