I've created an animation controller which moves a perspective camera along a 3D logo (made from a whole bunch of spheres, divided into 6 groups).  All created in XP.

I set the PCamera's Direction --> Object to one of the groups. The animation works perfectly in Layout mode - the camera remains pointed at the centre of the main logo group. However, when I move to Sequence and run the scene, the animation looks completely different. It no longer pivots the camera to keep it pointed at the object I set. The camera head just stays static.  

Does anybody know why the object I set is no longer being tracked when playing via the sequencer? A setting somewhere I'm missing?  I'm using V9.0.

Hi Ilana,

On the layout side, did you make the Perspective Camera "active"? You can do this on the object itself.

Hi Taylor

Yes, of course. As I said, the animation works perfectly in Layout mode, but in Sequence mode it does not track the object.

Hi Ilana, 

 

Would it be possible for us to get your project to test on our end? Also, what build of XPression v9 are you using?

 

Best,

Taylor

Hi Taylor

Sure, no problem. Let me know how to send it. Do you have a direct email address I can use, or maybe I can Dropbox it to you?

Hi Taylor

Thanks, I have emailed you a stripped down version of the project, with just a single scene and a 2 keyframe animation. 

Best regards

if you have done active camera in viewport then you can right click your presp camera and on the top there is presp camera active function , tick it and it will work.
