Hi, 

 

I am new to After Effects but when watching a tutorial the user is using the camera tool to rotate the solid on their screen. For some reason i don't have the option of the camera icon on my screen, can anyone help? I have circled the icon which i am not seeing on my program.

Hi Harry,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

The unified camera tool that you mentioned, has been replaced by the 3 individual tools for better navigation.

Please check the following article for more info: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/after-effects/user-guide.html/in/after-effects/using/work-in-3D-space.ug.html#camera_controls

Let us know if there are any other questions.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Pranay,

 

Thanks for writing in.

Unfortunately, the tools can not be changed back. However, by holding down Alt or Option with one of the camera tools selected you can use all 3 buttons of the mouse to navigate like the old tool used to function.

Hope it helps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu
