Moho Camera movement

Post by jawad »

the camera tool in moho is great.however while using it i have run into an issue regarding the zoomm and pan .when the camera is zoomed out/in while also moving the camera in x/y direction.the final the output seems as if the camera is zooming out in a curved angle.in after effect this can be done by setting the camera to null.
i have to tried to do it with show path but that just makes the camera zerk in the newly created frames.
i also tried the motion graph to adjust the path.however i am unable to figure a proper solution.

Yes, this is a problem. My solution is a fallback to old analogue techniques:
- all artwork is put into a group layer, which is put into another group layer.
- one of these groups moves only on X, the other only on Y
- camera only has zoom keys
This way I have very fine control over any camera movement.

Since the camera translation and zoom are different movements with their own curves, you can try using bezier keyframes adjust it, but some times in can be hard to coordinate both.
A simpler option would be to remove the Camera Zoom keyframes and only use the Camera Tracking tool to move the camera on X, Y and also Z:

^ This would be a proper facepalm situation here...

I was sure scaling folders, as slowtiger advised, works better since all the transformations are coming from just one tool, but for some reason I forgot that Tracking has all 3 dimensions. :lol:
Thanks for the reminder, Victor
