Viewing the Scene Through a Camera

The camera behaves like any other object in a 3D composite. You can move and rotate the camera to view your composite from a different angle without disturbing the elements within. You can keyframe the camera to animate the viewpoint of a composite or to produce cinematic effects such as dollies and truck shots.

For more information, see Cameras.

When you are viewing the scene in Perspective view, the camera appears as an element of your composite —you can see a visual representation of the camera and its field of view.

To view the composite through the camera:

Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Macintosh) the viewport, and then choose Camera from the context menu.

To access the Camera controls:

In the Composite Controls panel, click the Camera button.

For information on the Camera controls, see Camera Interface.
