I just want to add that you can also move the rotation point while on "Direct camera movement".
If this is the case you might want to change the Director's start point, from "Locked behind the camera" to "Adjustable"

This way you can move your point of view and click and/or move the rotation point easily.

Cheers,

While you're in Prepare Camera Movement mode, just (carefully) click on the cross and drag it where you want. I say carefully because it's easy to drag the camera instead. Once the pink cross is where you want it, you can get the pan around effect by using the left/right arrow keys when recording. Hope that helps.



Ok, that's how I thought you did it, but it seems to move the camera, I guess it's trial and error! (mostly error)

Thanks Ziggy!]]> Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:30:19 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2087-freeze.aspx Message from ziggy72 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:34:14 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2087-freeze.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 MrDrWho13 wrote:

Hey DrWho,

To make the camera circle around an object, move the rotation point of the camera and place it in the middle of the the object.
The rotation point is the pink cross you see in front of the camera once you click the direct option.
You can click to select it and then you can move it like an object.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Marco



Yes, Thank you!



This may sound stupid, but, how do you move the rotation point cross-shaped-thing?

the camera pans about in the frozen scene to emphasize the incredibleness of the feat the character is performing.



Speaking of which, I have trouble moving the cameras, eg: circling an object! Does anyone know if there is an easy way to do this?

You might also want a pose from the middle of an action.]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 12:12:45 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2087-freeze.aspx Message from ukBerty
I use AfterEffects to do anything clever like this. Either save a frame and then use a mask, or reshoot the bits you want to move on a greensceen and overlay.

Muvizu is very good at recording a scene with say a character and moving objects and then allowing you to delete things and insert green backdrops to shoot the exact scene again for overlay purposes.

I believe you can do the same in Sony Vegas, but I use AfterEffect as that's what I learnt on.]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:15:44 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2087-freeze.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 ]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:15:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2087-freeze.aspx Message from simonheffer
