Camera Tips and Tricks || Blender 2.93

 

I spent too much time aligning cameras that the tips shown here are most useful.

Useful techniques that I learn not listed in the index:

2 3d Viewport windows

You can have 2 3d Viewport windows at once. You can replace the outline window at the default top right with another 3d Viewport window. Make sure you know how to return to the Outline window so that we can keep track of our objects.

Move camera while in camera view (2:50):

You can move the camera using the cursor while in camera view. Just select camera, before you go into Camera View, and then G.

Move camera directly to the point of view (3:30):

Move camera while in camera view (10:30):

While in camera view, press Shift-`, at the top left of the keyboard. No need to select the camera first. You can use the keyboard the navigate the camera. ASWD keys.

 

Problems with auto recording:

I tried the auto keyin, but does not work properly for me. After pressing Space, which is Play for the Youtuber, it automatically records keystrokes, but I do not see how the key strokes are entered. When I tried to enter mine, there were delays. Better to insert key strokes manually by pressing I at the required frame.
