freeze all camera pan/zoom

Post by drichird »

If I want to look at a close-up of a character's mouth or hand, for example, while the animation is running, are there any tricks to keep the screen focused on that part of the layer? At the very least, it might be hard to follow a moving hand close up, but at least to disable any camera panning zooming then re-enable once detail work is done? One trick I was considering saving to separate file with special camera position zoomed on relevant area.

Create camera keys at the last view you want to freeze and set them to "step" interpolation.
