After Effects 2026 — How can I make the Camera Focus Distance indicator appear WHITE?
In an After Effects 2025 tutorial, the Camera Frustum/Wireframe is magenta, but the Focus Distance indicator line is clearly WHITE.
In my After Effects 2026 installation, both the camera frustum and the Focus Distance indicator appear magenta.
I am using Classic 3D and Depth of Field is enabled.
Is there a preference, View Option, Layer Control setting, or any other setting that controls the Focus Distance indicator color?
I don't want to change the Camera's Label Color because that changes the entire camera wireframe/control color.
I specifically want to distinguish the Focus Distance indicator from the camera frustum.
Screenshots attached:
- After Effects 2025 tutorial — white Focus Distance line + magenta camera frustum.
- My After Effects 2026 — both appear magenta.
Was this behavior changed in After Effects 2026, or is there a hidden setting/preferences option?
