Question

Link focus distance to camera

After scaling down the comp using the default script Scale Composition.jsx, which comes by defaut  with AE, the  expression that links the camera focus to a 3d layer, doesn't do the job.
Reapplying it using the menu command Layer>Camera>Link focus distance to camera doesn't fix the problem even after restarting AE.

    Hi David,

     

    Thanks for writing in.

    What's the version of After Effects you're using? I am using the latest version (24.1) on a Mac and the feature seems to function as it should. If After Effects is not updated, give that a try.

    We're here to help.

    Note: Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu

    Hi Nishu,

     

    I'm on Windows and on the latest release. 
    Can you have a look at the attached project file?

    'Set camera distance to layer' works.
    'Link camera distance to layer' doesn't.

    Cheers
