Reseting main camera or main recording window

Post by cookins »

I was exploring something in menu and looks like I pressed something... now main camera is align on nothing and front view not seen in export movie. I can change from front view to camera only by using "View..." category in menu, because in front view with allmost far zooming - camera window not seen (like on other screen some sort), only from menu I can find it. Like on screenshots http://picasaweb.google.ru/Cookins87/Sc ... 7853409250 and http://picasaweb.google.ru/Cookins87/Sc ... 8510735986 .

how to reset camera window to where is front view located? on work place with biggest zoom and trying to locate each other - they not seen. I just need to make camera window like usual be on front side. tnx

Is "Enable 3D camera" checked in the document settings?

Can you post the scene somewhere - this will be the fastest way of fixing it.

Set the time to frame 0, then activate the Track Camera tool, and click "Reset" up in the tool options bar. Repeat for the Zoom Camera, Roll Camera, and Pan/Tilt Camera tools.

(It may be that only one of them got mis-aligned, but without seeing the project file I can't say for sure. Resetting them all will get you back to the original settings.)

Oops - I just read your last comment that at frame 0 or 1 the scene disappears. You may have an accidental camera keyframe at frame 1 or 2 - try deleting any camera keyframes. Other things can make the scene disappear too - it may have been dragged out of view, or turned invisible, or many other things.

Cookins, I'm looking at your project and I don't see any problem:

On frame 0: All of your objects are displayed.

On frame 1: There is nothing, because all of your layers are invisible.

On frame 2: The sun appears. Your other layers are invisible and positioned below the screen.

On frame 96: Your forest becomes visible and starts to move up the screen. Over time your other objects become visible as well.

So I don't have any problem viewing your scene, I assume this is how you want it to look. I have Anime Studio 6.1 so maybe there is a difference in your version, but don't think anything is wrong with your project...the problem might just be with your Anime Studio settings.

Try:

1. Choose View > Direction > Camera.

2. Press the HOME key. This brings you to the default zoom.

3. Go to frame 190. All of your objects are visible there.

Cheers,
Muffy.

Is the background layer at top or bottom in the layers?

After drawing the shapes/lines did you hit create shape?

Double click each layer and to pull up a window and see if any are mistakenly invisible.
Sorry for bad animation

I just looked at your .anme file. I did a preview (F5) and the background was white. I rendered one frame and the background was white.

I checked the project settings and the background was set to white.

It appears the file is working correctly.
What if?
