Objects move with camera

Question

Hello!I have a problem whenever I use camera in Element 3d (multiple layers photos) The other objects move aswell. What do I do wrong? I watched every tutorial I could and did not understand what I made wrong. Since Im wanting to blut the background but not the avatar I had to make mutiple layers so may it cause the problem? If so please explain how to do it right.

Your first mistake is looking at Custom View 1. That view will not render nor show you what AE's camera sees on the element 3D layer. You must be looking at the Active Camera. All other views, top, bottom, left, right, front, back, custom 1, 2, and 3 are only there to assist you in arranging 3D layers in AE's 3D space.

All it takes is layer order and maybe a track matte with a mask to make AE's 3D layers pass through or under an Element 3D object.

I suggest you spend some time with the Element 3D tutorials on the Video Copilot site instead of digging through YouTube for recipes prepared by well-meaning enthusiasts that may or may not have the skill to explain or even come up with efficient workflows.

Fiddle with the project I created in about 3 minutes.
