Hi

You'll need to turn off collapse transformations (the star next to the shy face icon) for 3D to work.

Collapse transformations will not prevent the camera from effecting a nested comp. Collapse transformations will let the camera see a 3D layer inside a nested comp even if the nested comp layer is 2D.

I think the problems is that I only see one keyframe for the camera. It's not moving.

If the layers in all of those nested comps (pre-comps) were all 3D you would not have to make the compositions in the Timeline 3D for the camera to work.

I suggest that you spend some time with the User Guide or run through the tutorials on the After Effects Product page. The screenshot and the problem indicates a lack of understanding, not a bug.

I don't see anything in that screen shot that dictates the use of 3D.  It appears a simple animation of scale in 2D would work.

If you don't HAVE to use 3D, 2D is always easier.
