xyz arrows show but I can't select them to move them

Hi, all, I'm working with 3D cam and a handful of images and footage in 3D. I'd like to move my camera by its xyz arrows to avoid having to scroll the position transformation numbers and change the point of interest for every move, as I want my camera to maintain its perfectly facing forward focus. But when I hover my cursor over the arrows, the letters (xyz) don't appear and I am unable to select and move them. Double checked to make sure I am in select mode, and I am. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Select the camera layer and hit the "U" key twice in quick succession. This will show all keyframes and non default properties for that layer. Then take and upload a full size screen shot of your composition window and the opened timelayer layer.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

You can use the Unified Camera tool to make such movements. Alternatively, you can switch to 2 views (one from Active Camera and one from Top) to make the adjustments manually with x,y and, z controls. You can change the view from Top to Front, Right or Left depending on the movement you need. Check out the screenshot.

Let us know if it's not what you are looking for.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Thanks for the reply, Nishu! Yes, I am in two view mode and should be able to move arrows, but I can't. It isn't always a problem, as most of the time I can use the arrows. But every now and then, when I move the footage or an image, the xyz arrows on camera (and often the other elements) will stop being moveable for some reason. That's what I'm trying to figure out: Any further thoughts?

Just to be clear, nishu_kush, the response unfortunately doesn't solve my problem, so am hoping for further insight why the xyz arrows won't move. Thanks!
