one of the best, quickiest and easiest tutorial in the inernet . No wasting time just straight to the point. Thanks my man.

[@sturm3d]

HOLY Shh.. it was right there in the menue.. all the time. this look-at-selected-layers feature kind of is a punch in the face! Was I the only one who had been aligning cameras manually to a point of interest? thanks to this daily tip now these times are over once and for all. thankyou!

[@sturm3d]

only problem is it doesn't take into considerance whether the targeted layer is rotated. So if the text is pointing away, the camera would not change it's orientation accordingly to face the text. this would still need to be done by hand.. in case I didn't miss something.. again.

[@ajeet1994]

now it feels for me too..

[@oscand9512]

I use another shortcut when Unified Camera Tool (C) is selected. Select the 3D Layer then press F. Thanks Sergei for all your usefull Tips

[@sturm3d]

that's a nice one!

[@ukramedia]

Awesome! I didn't know that one. Thanks for sharing!

[@oscand9512]

Ctrl+Shift+F to look at all 3D layers

[@mirunaandriesei5918]

thankkkk you

[@PeterGreenCST]

Wow, I love how quick and clear this tutorial is. Saved me a TON of time poking around. Thanks Sergei!

[@ukramedia]

I'm glad you found this useful, Peter!

[@Dmitri.lobanov]

Not only i found an answer to my question, how to toggle different camera tools, i also discovered new shortcuts. Merry Christmas Sergei, subscribed!

[@KrizSykx]

Straight to the point, that's what I like, thanks!

[@slade9989]

Thank you so much. Your tutorials are advance and easy to understand. Whenever I am looking for something I am unable to find on other videos, your channel helps me a lot. Please do a tutorial on camera movements which can be used for logo animation/reveal and stuff like that.

[@bearimo2867]

You just saved me the biggest headache brother. Thanks so much - I'm a 15 years veteran of AE and somehow never ever used this function - amazing!

[@emy3974]

love it!! thx a bunch

[@mikkvillem]

There's multiple good tips here. I liked the way you handled those keyframes.

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Mikk!

[@amcecchini]

Wow. It Should helped me a lot a month or two ago. But now I know and if needed I'll use it for sure! Fantastic Tutorial!

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Antonio!

[@amcecchini]

Hi Sergei, In your case, all layers are facing to front. What if ther are at, for example, 45º other at -45º and so on? Using the method you shown the camera go to the layer image, but how to turn the camera to face the new layer? I think it is a new turorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@O2-studios]

Very important to mention that this will not work unless "Active Camera" is selected when framing up these layers and creating the keyframes.

[@grfxsmith]

Clear and straight to the point, many thanks for this useful tips!

the whole time watching i was just going wtf... im kinda new to after effects so i had no idea you could do amazing stuff like this... thank you for the great tutorial!!

[@tenniset]

I didn't know it's already built in either. I used to use video copilot's plugin. Now it's so simple.

[@ukramedia]

:-)

[@angelicadimude4378]

damn AE is awesome. Love how simple this tute is.

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Angelica!

[@angelicadimude4378]

Is there a way to automatically blur out the layers that are not on focus??

[@ukramedia]

Yes. You can use depth of field to do that.

[@Gus_Diaz_83]

Probably one of my favorites! Thank you!

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Gus!

[@LKBL8]

wow, great! and what if I would rotate the text? I mean not just push it backward or forward but also rotate? Is there any "command" or shortcut to point the camera toward the object? I dont mean "auto-orient" object to camera, but auto-orient camera toward the object, when the object is rotated. Thank you.

[@Power_Chan]

thanks a lottt man really useful

[@ukramedia]

Glad it helped

[@mohammedalkhateeb4539]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have been looking for this for so long, but I couldn't explain it to KZbin "which is floating text in an empty dark space while the camera moves from one text to another.

[@CBlakeDavis]

Well this just saved me a massive amount of time

[@ukramedia]

That's great to hear!

[@MichelSatoer]

Thanks Sergei, This is indeed a useful tip. To be honest, I never use 3D inside of after effect. It’s just too slow and clumsy to move around in a 3D AE environment. If I need 3D graphics, I just use applications like 3D studio max. Maybe this will make manoeuvring inside AE a little less shitty. Just for the simple things. It probably will never beat the "free" manoeuvring inside a real 3D application.

[@ukramedia]

I know exactly what you mean and I agree with you 100%, Michel. I don't do any 3D in Ae, I always do that in Cinema 4D.

[@ukramedia]

Thank you for watching it!

[@barathiparthi8702]

Thanks .. saved TON of time

[@MUENTERMEDIA]

Great tip, thank you Sergei! I hope it will never happen but I can't imagine what the last tip is going to be! Maybe "How to make a Fox Sports animation in 1 day?" haha

[@k1rv846]

How do you get the option to toggle active camera because it doesn't show for me?

[@gxtutorial7301]

Tysm 👍🏼

[@SlobboVideo]

My mind is blown. GODDAMMIT I never knew there is a shortcut to zoom into a 3D object in AE. Thank you man, your a godsend.

[@ukramedia]

:-) Thank YOU!

[@mattianapoli622]

Hello! Do you know if it works also in after effects 2020?

[@ukramedia]

It should.

[@OgatRamastef]

very usefull!!!

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Ogat!

[@Hepworks]

Thank you! It's the usual way with AE - I had watched this tutorial before, but then completely lost track of how to 'look at selected layers' - and was getting vexed as it's hard to find. Is there a way to juice the SEO on this? like putting 'look at selected layers' in the title?

[@lonyrecord]

Tanks bro.

[@ukramedia]

Any time!

[@FLOWTUTS]

Thanks Sergei

[@ukramedia]

Thank YOU!
