Hi.
Here is a possible fix. It's a JSFL script to set the exact coordinates for the camera.
Download:
fix_camera.zip - Google Drive
Usage:
- Select the frame of the camera you want to apply the coordinates;
- Execute the script by going to Commands > Run Command... or drag and drop it over Animate CC IDE or double-click it on the OS file explorer. You can also put the script in the default commands folder;
- Type the x and y values separated by comma. If you want only the x or only the y, type "x," or ",y". You have to include the comma. E.g.: 100,100 or 100, or ,100.
Considerations:
- It will not work if the camera is rotated. Sorry about that. I'll think in a way to take into consideration the camera rotation.
- Most of times, you'll have to click on the coordinates fields of the camera properties (when you click and it gets selected) to see the exact value that was set by the script.
- Event with code, some rounding may happen. It has to do with float precision, I guess.
Please, let me know if it works or if there's something I can do to better help you. I invite anyone to fix or improve this script in any way needed.
Code (for reference only):
function start()
{
var defaultValue = "0,0";
var pos = prompt("Type the coordinates. E.g.: 50.2,50.84 or 50.2, or ,50.84", defaultValue);
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var timeline = doc.getTimeline();
var layers = timeline.layers;
var selectedLayers = timeline.getSelectedLayers();
var element;
var posX;
var posY;
var argument0;
var argument1;
var cameraScale;
if (!doc || !selectedLayers || pos == null || pos.indexOf(",") == -1)
return;
else
{
element = layers[selectedLayers].frames[timeline.currentFrame].elements[0];
if (!element)
return;
cameraScale = (1000 / (element.scaleX * 10)) / 100;
pos = pos.replace(/\s/g,'');
argument0 = pos.slice(0, pos.indexOf(","));
argument1 = pos.slice(pos.indexOf(",") + 1, pos.length);
posX = Number(argument0);
posY = Number(argument1);
if (argument0 != "" && !isNaN(parseFloat(posX)))
element.x = doc.width * 0.5 - (posX / cameraScale);
if (argument1 != "" && !isNaN(parseFloat(posY)))
element.y = doc.height * 0.5 - (posY / cameraScale);
}
}
start();
I hope it helps.
Regards,
JC
