Zoom in or out as necessary.
To more accurately set the field of view or to adjust the
position of the near and far clipping planes, use the
View Setup tool while a keyframe is selected. For
more information, see “Using View Setup” on page
32.
The change in view orientation between keyframes is
automatically interpolated to produce smooth
zooming during the animation sequence.
Varying the Camera Speed
After you set the path and aim of the camera, the
motion of the camera is set, by default, to a speed of 1
meter per second.
You can change the speed at which your camera
moves through the camera path by adjusting the
shape of the speed curve in the Motion Editor.
The Motion Editor is made up of three views:
•
The graph at the bottom of the Graphic window dis-
plays the camera motion speed or focus point motion
speed.
• The Camera view at the upper left of the Graphic
window shows the camera’s view at a particular time
during the animation.
• TheDirector view at the upper right of the Graphic
window shows the director’s view of the model.
Speed Graph
Use the speed graph to control the speed at which the
camera moves along its path. You can zoom and scroll
this graph using standard view controls.
The vertical axis represents the distance along the
camera path (or the focus point path for a stationary
camera). The horizontal axis represents time.
