    When I set the position of my camera manually (by adjusting the x and y by typing in the value that I want and hitting enter) it resets to a seemingly random position in both x and y (even when I only adjust one of them)

    Hello! I know this is from a year ago, but I just found the solution! It might not be the same for you, but for me the reason I couldn't see it was becuase my timeline was covering it up. If you move the timeline, then the tool might be at the bottom of the window! I hope this helped!

      a screenshot (or two) copied and pasted into your message would clarify your answer.

      Same here. When I open additional tools it has a "yield sign" over it. And when I drag it to the tool bar, it is visible but I'm unable to select it/click on it.

      Go to Modify > Document... and in the Document Settings dialog check Use Advanced Layers.

      This will 'unlock' your camera.

      the camera control should appear after the camera is first added.  thereafter, it will disappear (depending on what you do in animate).  to make the control reappear, use your keyboard shortcut for the camera (c by default).
