Hey! I'm am working on a logo presentational video in After Effects. I was trying to create a camera rotation movement of my object (for example: my object is a cube and I'm trying to move my camera up in order to see the top of the cube). I'm not sure if my explanation makes any seance, but if it does, then would anyone know how would I create this effect?

Are you asking how to animate a camera in After Effects or you asking for the best way to animate a particular camera move in After Effects?

In many cases, parenting the camera to a 3d null object offers a powerful way to control things. You can just rotate the null to get the camera to orbit an object.

Hi. You posted your question in the non-technical Lounge forum, which is where you can connect with your peers for conversations that don't directly relate to product help and support.

I’ll move your question to the After Effects forum so that you can get the answer you are looking for.
