Adding a 3D Camera

By default, a 3D camera exists in the Action scene when using stereo clips, or when Action has been set up to work in stereo (you may need to pan in the schematic to see the camera node). You can add multiple 3D cameras in order to change point-of-view or depth-of-field from one camera to another. You can add and animate multiple cameras when creating compositions. You can also switch from one camera to another at any point.

To add a stereo camera to a scene:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Drag the Camera 3D node from the node bin and place it in the schematic.
   • Drag the Camera 3D node from the node bin and place it where you want it in the Result view.
   • Double-click the Camera 3D node. You do not need to be in Schematic view to add a node in this manner.

   A new 3D camera is added to the scene. An icon representing the camera is added to the schematic.

2. Select the 3D Camera node to make it the active camera in the scene.
3. In the Object menu that appears, set the Result Camera to a numbered camera representing a 3D camera.
4. In the Output menu, set the Mode to Stereo and set the Camera to Result Cam.
