Camera and 3D
Perspective, dolly, orbit and push-in moves, depth of field and layer depth for product videos.
The camera turns a flat scene into a product shot. It lives in Refine (⌥⌘4) next to the tuning dials: one-click shots first, fine controls on request. Layers can have depth, so they separate as the camera moves.
Camera shots
| Preset | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hero tilt | Straightens up from a 22° tilt while moving in slightly |
| Orbit | Slow pan around the vertical axis |
| Dolly in | Calm move closer to the scene |
| Push in | Pushes toward the focus layer (the selected layer), the rest blurred |
| Isometric | Angled 3D view that opens up |
| Float | Gentle float (seamless loop) |
While a camera is set, the module shows On and an Off button.
Fine-tune
Click the slider button in the Camera header:
| Control | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|
| X, Y, Z knobs | Tilt X, Tilt Y and Roll in degrees. Drag; double-click resets to 0° | 0° |
| Zoom | 0.5× to 2× | 1× |
| Depth blur | 0 to 4 | 0 |
| Perspective | 400 to 4,000 | 1,400 |
Sliders set the final framing; animated camera moves shift along with it. The camera also has Pan X, Pan Y and Focus, which the AI and presets animate; see Animatable properties.
Layer depth
Set a layer's depth in the Layers tab: open the layer and change Depth z (positive is closer). Closer layers move more with the camera, cast deeper shadows and blur with depth of field.
3D on single layers
The selection bar's 3D button tilts a single layer: Flat, Isometric, Left, Right, Top, Hero, Floor and Flipped, or exact X, Y and Depth. Actions like Flip-in, Tilt-in and Sway 3D add 3D motion too.
