camera flip fix. right click on camera layer>transform>auto-orient>off. done. happy editing

[@loookclick938]

OH MY GOSH THANK YOU. All this time I had to compensate the rotation. tedious shit

[@pawaradesilva9269]

serious shit

[@wonderfulqualitycontent3354]

Omg i was puzzling over this problem for like an hour before I saw your comment. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@missionstories]

Holy smokes, you saved me from losing my mind.

[@adrianfach7892]

Dude thank you! How is this still not fixed?!

[@bennieblanks5129]

It's rare to find a tutorial that so perfectly addresses the exact questions I need answered. Thank you for this. Very informative.

[@ywamer88]

Honestly, one of the best tutorials I've seen on camera movement in After Effects. Great Job!

[@NourShekho]

I really feel the same .. thank you

[@doodelay]

This was incredibly useful but I think the greatest gift of all was inadvertently teaching me how to copy/paste keyframes. You have absolutely no idea how frustrating and time consuming it's been for me trying to edit while not knowing how to do that lol thank you soooo much

[@lilcasper2281]

just wait till you hear about expressions :O you can loop out keyframe patterns

[@shanecurrie4446]

This is a perfect, very well articulated crash course for AE camera beginners with a solid timeline animation base.

[@SabareeshN]

When you move the camera using the mouse, the camera moves along with the "point of interest" but when you use the p"osition" option from the drop-down, it doesnt move the "point of interest" option, which is right above the "position" option. And hence when the "position" of the camera crosses the "point of interest", it will flip because, the camera always moves focussing the "point of interest". If you move the "point of interest" seperately, it will even move/rotate the camera following the "point of interest" .

[@GabrielShahab]

well.. I obviously did it the right way all the time, until I needed to move them both at the same time.. Thank you again, for reminding me..

[@ojinavi]

Thank you so much!

[@eliseon8573]

Let's all just appreciate how well executed this tutorial was 🙏🏻❤️

[@SamEmilio2]

I love this tutorial! Thanks for helping me to not be afraid of the camera tool. Nobody else has commented on having this same issue in the 5 years it's been up, but I had an issue when turning on the camera layer's depth of field setting where everything was a blurry mush. Turns out that by default, the Focus Distance setting for me was set, by default, to a position of 0 pixels instead of being equal to the zoom position as it is in your video. Not sure if that can help anyone else who hit the same issue as me, but there you go.

[@derekjohnson5977]

I watched a few different tutorials on how to use the camera, and none that I had seen so far mentioned the making the objects 3d which causes the camera movement. Maybe that's just day one stuff, but that was what i was missing to getting my project to work the way i wanted it to, thank you very much!

[@moboxgraphics]

Glad I could help!

[@TheRealRappingRealtor]

@@moboxgraphics how do you make it so the camera outline is always available. Mine disapears when i select other layers. Then I cant see where they are in relation to the camera focus point.

[@rifkyputra2581]

TNice tutorials is actually a very good and straight forward tutorial. No having ask questions or guess, no over-explaining elents, and brings

[@helenaerlach5259]

One of the best After Effects Tutorials I have seen. Love how you zoom into the small stuff.

[@toxicdotaep2890]

LMAO glad to know I'm not the only one who has to deal with weird random glitches in AE. it's a great program but honestly sometimes it feel half-broken. this tutorial's great by the way !! very helpful :D

[@VictorGabriel-lg7mp]

IT WORKED, THANKS I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER, BUT NO TUTORIAL COULD EXPLAIN IT AS YOU DID

[@AimlessGallant]

Really simple and useful tutorial! I needed to know this for something I have been working on. Thank you for your videos!

[@radiolive-riodejaneirobras3340]

Returning here 2 years after I first saw the video, I realised just now how much I have learnt. I am so grateful for your channel, everytNice tutorialng

[@CrazyLaughStudios]

Man! I'm just bing watching all your tutorials! Learning so much!

[@fuckerseasy4597]

HOLYY SHIITTT I LOVE YOU ❤❤❤ I'VE BEEN SEARCHING AROUND THE INTERNET FOR 5 HOURS AND THEN NOW IT'S OVER FINALLY I LOVE YOU MAAN

[@carloshidalgo92]

I dont' get why the focus distance and the aperture aren't giving me any out of focus element or blur...

[@TerryPlays]

same

[@_parthopal]

Me too

[@Kuschelstrudel]

Hi Man! The reason why the Camera flips is that there is "Point of interest". It is the also the direction the Camera looks at. when you move youre Camera behind that Point on a Z Axe - the Cam cant do anything else but flip - it wants to look at its point of interest. Thanks for the other stuff I didn't know. 🙂

[@princemjprasanth8954]

Thanks brother. Your video helped me a lot.

[@austingalane9559]

OMG THANK YOU!!! I went through hours of "beginner" guides before I could find tNice tutorials and at least make a simple soft... Only video I've

[@shanks7283]

When I've started producing I personally have downloaded most of the plugins from there, never had problems with virus, malwares and

[@McKingski]

When i make the circles 3d my background changes colour and the solid grey colour is gone! what am i doing wrong? and if i move the 3d objects or camera it doesnt move the view??? anybody know what im doing wrong?

[@sparklelee4368]

in the top view....is the camera pointing like his is...straight ahead? and the circles are infront of it? did you choose the same camera he choose....like 50mm etc...

[@gian3458]

Look from different angles to see what's going on, that usually helps me better assess the situation Go to the preview screen where it shows Then go to the setting to the right of the checkered pattern (the transparency grid toggle) and select the different angles you can use in the dropdown menu Pretty old advice but hope this helps

[@jawwad089]

honestly the best soft tutorial ive ever seen. short and straight to the point ! i love it

[@xxerbexx]

i think im to stupid, doenst realy matter what i do, the circle isnt reacting

[@utkarshlivee]

i think you didn't turn on the 3D layer at the first place :)

[@xxerbexx]

oh its been a while but i actualy think i did.

[@utkarshlivee]

ohkkay den i don't know! so now did you got the output?

[@gian3458]

another old reply but its probably draft 3d that you toggled on. I realize that that is for rendering 3d stuff quickly, but it doesn't render the focus distance and all that. at least that's how I fixed my problem for me

[@famepahadi1979]

The oldest reply , you need to change the 3d renderer to classic 3d in your composition settings.

[@nacho20062]

Man, you don't know how grateful I am right now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@SurajThapar]

Hey, what microphone do you use?

[@moboxgraphics]

+Suraj Thapar Blue Yeti

[@SurajThapar]

Oh, that's an expensive one. I'm planning to get Samson Meteorite (similar to Blue Snowball) for the initial videos. :) Also do you edit the sound or keep it as it is?

[@moboxgraphics]

Suraj Thapar I use Audacity to equalize the volume and remove the static background noise.

[@SurajThapar]

Thanks, always learning something new :)

[@moboxgraphics]

Suraj Thapar Glad I could help!

Guys if the shapes are still not getting bigger if you drag towards the camera then look at he layer panel. There is a Cube icon. Enable the cube icon. That will make it a 3D layer.
