Editing Camera Path

Edits on the camera path created for animation are made by interfering with the camera path. The location of the points (cameras) that make up the camera path, the direction of view, the interval times can be changed from the timing settings.

Editing Camera Path

Editing can be made on the defined camera path.

  • Choose the camera path for this.

  • The camera has two points, one on the road and the other to show the direction of view. The more points added during the route definition, the more cameras are placed and when selected, the points of each are marked as red colored points.

  • The path line is selected, mouse is placed on one of the points on it and click the node point with the left mouse button.

  • The location of the node will change depending on the movement of your mouse.

  • Take it to its new location and place it by clicking the left mouse button.

  • Click the other point that represents the viewing direction with the left mouse button.

  • Your direction of view will change depending on the movement of your mouse.
