Could someone point me in the direction of some camera movement tutorials.

I'm seeming to have some problems animating the camera exactly how I want it. I was animating a crash type zoom and when it passes the text I wanted it to orbit around the text from the back then zoom past it from the back. I'm sure something like this is easily achieved but not quite as easy for me yet. I'm so use to "keyframes" lol.

Thank you.

The Proanimator camera is great for simple motion but I find I have more control using the Comp Camera. Take a look at this project: http://www.motionworks.com.au/z_other/downloads/camera%20setup%20example.zi... I've set up a camera "rig" using nulls linked to a single master control layer. I know that sounds scary but it's actually a superb and easy way to animate the camera.

John, I went to have a look at that post but it doesn't work. Just got AnimPro and hungry for learning more.

Thanks

Alan

Thank you John, the link works fine, I am not an AE buff so not too much help just now but maybe in the future.

Thanks

Alan

Thanks John that does sound like the way to go but one question how would I create a group of nulls and link them to a mater like you did. Any tutorials floating around on that?

thank you
Josh
