Creating Camera Tracks

To create a camera track, first click on the 'insert' button, on the left hand side. Track 1 is displayed on the left. More Camera Tracks can be added if needed. Notice, on the right hand side that 'Point 0' has suddenly appeared. A Camera Track works by moving the camera from one point to another. The computer gets this information by you moving the camera in the editor to the position you want it to be.

So, move the camera to the start point, then click on 'Point 0', and then 'Update'. Click 'Add', then click on 'Point 1', move the camera to the end position, and click 'Update'. You have now created a simple, one-movement camera track. Add a time in the duration box, in seconds.

Viewing Camera Tracks

To view your camera track, press the play button. The Camera will move from the start to finish. If this camera track is going to be used in cinematic mode, bear in mind that the letterbox effect will be in use - to see this, click the letter box button at the end of the button row.
