How to Create a Boxcam Layer and Adjust Its Settings
To use Aescripts Boxcam 2.4, you need to create a Boxcam layer in your composition. To do this, go to Layer > New > Null Object and name it "Boxcam". Then go to Effect > Rebane > Boxcam 2 and apply it to the null object.
The Boxcam layer will act as your virtual camera that will control how your 2D layers are displayed in the composition. You can adjust its settings in the Effect Controls panel or in the Boxcam panel.
Some of the main settings you can adjust are:
Position: The position of the camera in X, Y, and Z axes.
Rotation: The rotation of the camera in X, Y, and Z axes.
Scale: The scale of the camera in X, Y, and Z axes.
Focal Length: The focal length of the camera lens.
Aperture: The aperture of the camera lens that affects the depth of field.
Focus Distance: The distance from the camera where the layers are in focus.
Motion Blur: The amount of motion blur applied to the layers when the camera moves.
You can also use the on-screen controls to adjust these settings by clicking and dragging on the handles.
How to Animate the Boxcam Layer with Keyframes and Markers
To animate the Boxcam layer, you can use keyframes or markers. Keyframes allow you to set different values for the settings at different points in time. Markers allow you to set different presets for the settings at different points in time.
To use keyframes, you need to enable them for each setting you want to animate by clicking on the stopwatch icon next to it. Then you can move the current time indicator to where you want to change the value and adjust it accordingly. You can also use the graph editor or the speed editor to fine-tune your animation curves.
To use markers, you need to add them to your timeline by pressing * on your 0efd9a6b88
