[@ThePresentPast_]

Look at that, working with the Cantino Planisphere at the same as my favourite tutorialist (is that even a word?)!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Tutorialist is a great title. I'm changing my LinkedIn profile immediately...

[@HiMotionAndDesign]

Hey Jason! Very cool tut and plugin! Ended up buying it. One question - do you know how to do a dollyzoom with this plugin? Haven’t been able to pull one off

[@gerardorojas3856]

Hey there, thanks for sharing, a question, since create null from path is not working well with 3d, I just tried your method, key frame from path and paste it to position in a new null, the thing is how can I slow the path for certain focus ? The way you have shown in the video prolongs the total duration but cannot make some spot focus in the time, for example, I want to go from point A to D but in the middle, when reaching point B I want to focus 5 seconds and when point C 5 seconds more than continue with the same speed.

[@mrmooremedia]

hey man, wondering if you can pull focus with this - so if I have focus locked to a layer is there anyway of THEN moving focus ?! Thanks

[@vincent.k348]

Hi! I love ur tutorials about maps but i dont have enough money to buy Geolayers. Can you do a tutorial on how to make a historical map WITHOUT geolayers?

[@timhullfilms]

Any tips on adding depth of field?

[@nickjames5602]

Hey Boone, thanks so much for sharing this. With Handycam, do you know if it's possible to circle/fly/orbit around a POI on a map? In AE proper, I use a null and null-parented camera, tilt the Null's X rotation 45º, and animate the last number of the Null's Orientation parameter. I only have a trial version of Handycam and haven't figured how to do that with Handycam. Perhaps the trial version has some limitations that get unlocked when you purchase?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Orbiting always seems to be a headache. Let me play around and see if I can come up with something simple via HandyCam.

[@cardermedia]

What about if you want to animate from looking at one Null to another Null - like VCP's SureTarget did?

[@TabletsAndTemples]

The basic panning features of Handy Cam for free just parent your camera to a null and animate the null position.

[@antonoksenenko275]

Greetings, Dear! If it's not too difficult for you, could you tell me what program do you use to add sound to video from After Effects? Thank you for your work! Health to you and your family! Greetings to you from Russia!

[@vamboo8918]

Did you also make drown cartoon animation thing's too, like ben marriot?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Nah, I'm strictly maps. I've done a few things for other channels, but nowhere near his level of course. 🐉🔥

[@satonio5308]

I hope you make more tutorail with that camera control with many photo. Example The Israel-Palestine conflict from Vox.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Great idea, I'll add that to my to do list.

[@gastikirs]

Hi :) I just bought the plugin. Do you know why I dont see the "camera red "triangle" " that is projected in the camera view? It will only show if I have the camera layer selected. But I see you shy the camera layer. If I have the null object controller selected, I can use the camera controls but the camera view wont show the camera projection. How can I fix it?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hmmmmm, are you trying to see the camera projection in the default camera view?

[@gastikirs]

@@BooneLovesVideo Yes, I have activated 2 views, one of them is the "Classic 3D". Selected "left" but I can't see the projection unless the camera layer is selected (highlighted). If I select the null object it won't show the projection.

[@gastikirs]

All this without even touching any settings, just took a null object, applied the handycam effect, click setup, and that's it. I have AE 24.0.3

[@TheTrackRecord]

How do you get the camera in the top down view to be permanently visible? I lose it every time i click off the camera layer.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hey Simon. Did you already switch to 2-view mode in the comp panel?

[@TheTrackRecord]

@@BooneLovesVideo ye, had active camera and top.

[@TheTrackRecord]

@@BooneLovesVideo Figured it out in the end. You just go: View > View Options, change “Camera Wireframes” from the default setting (“When Selected”) to “On.”

[@BooneLovesVideo]

@@TheTrackRecord Ah, glad to hear, Simon. :)
