I always use this method with cameras now in AFX. great tutorial.

[@westfoxcreative]

I appreciate it! Thank you!

[@gopoo]

Thank you! You explained it in a better way. Do you have any tutorial , where camera follows a specified path. Lets say around 3d object or objects?

[@westfoxcreative]

Do you still need help with this?

[@gopoo]

the video was great but i literally watched it at 1.5x speed and it felt normal ...it was soo slow but chill ..ngl maybe that's the reason why I actually understood it ..Thankyou :)

[@westfoxcreative]

It’s funny cuz in real like most people think I talk to fast lol 😂

[@nileevans229]

Beautifully explained - and i enjoyed the music too 👌

[@westfoxcreative]

Thank you very much!

[@GeertBonamie]

Thank you very much for this! I've always found camera moves tricky, and this helped! I do have one question -is there a way to see the path of the null? I don't have ctrl-H on, but still can't see it. I tried looking in the timeline to see if I could change the spatial interpolation there, but apparently that's not possible. Obvious question: is this typical 'null object'-behaviour?

[@westfoxcreative]

I thought in the past there was. I need to do an update and see. They keep changing little things in AFX. This year has had me a bit behind on content.

[@MattKalcik]

THIS my man is one of the best video on this topic that I have found. You really explained everything with ease.. Thanks a lot man.. Wondering why have you stoped to upload the videos. You have a potential to really grow big. Just one thing - could you tell me if there is anyway (and I guess there is) to connect obejects to rotate (face to) camera that is flying around it ? I mean I have rotoscoped video of piece of Granola, but as the camera flyaround the video is of the granola is warped in weird way and I would like to have this object still nice and 3D and not warped. Any options here ?

[@mamaimadeit8964]

bro did u find out how??

[@MattKalcik]

@@mamaimadeit8964 didn’t find a way how to do it, so I replaced this shot.

[@westfoxcreative]

I’m sorry on the delay getting back to you. Hmmmmm idk if u solved this but I think it’s a scripted thing. Tho, I’m working on new content, so I will look into it!

[@westfoxcreative]

Also I appreciate the question, honestly Covid massively changed my life and had some wonderful children, but I am back and planning on doing more. I just set up my recording studio after having it sit as a “closet” for the last few years.

[@steveh718]

If you skipped the step at 5:30 would everything work about the same but allow you to pivot around the Point Of Interest?

[@StreetSpiritMusic]

This is great!

What is zoom? Seems like a x y z movement, what’s the difference? :)

[@DotAndDab]

helpfull

[@westfoxcreative]

Glad to hear that!

[@erwinsmith4586]

nice tutorial but dude it is so long way to do that , why don't you use seprate dimensions?

[@its5minute]

agreed.....

[@westfoxcreative]

Not sure what you mean, I’m definitely interested :)

[@FALCONxYT]

so what if we need to add more null for smooth movements

[@westfoxcreative]

Not sure what you mean, if you can elaborate more I can make a tutorial on it. :)

[@FALCONxYT]

@@westfoxcreative emm you know we use multiple null layers to get that extra smooth motion, by ading keframes before on ending in another null layer. emm i dont remember why i hv commented it here, i think we cat get that multiple null layer option with what u hv shown here

[@leomac1829]

hello there i try to do the z axis to create depth in after effects but it does not work, it comes all together, without parallax what am i suposed to do regards very good tutorial

[@renderpeach]

You need to turn the artwork layers into a 3D layer.

[@Ref7]

how do you saprate position x y ?

[@unitard9701]

Soo null basically separates x-y-z keyframes for changing one without affecting others ?

[@westfoxcreative]

Correct.

[@lucho3612]

YOOO REALY NICE!!! ty

Really cool method of camera control. In future please remove the repetitive beat haha

[@westfoxcreative]

Thank you 🙏

[@leomac3337]

when do i use only camera and when camera and null

[@westfoxcreative]

I personally only use the null when I’m moving the camera. Tho I think they are helpful in many cases.
