Move a camera, light, or point of interest
Camera layers and light layers each include a Point Of Interest property, which specifies the point in the composition at which the camera or light points. By default, the point of interest is at the center of the composition. You can move the point of interest at any time.
Before
moving a camera, choose a view other than Active Camera so that
you can see the point of interest icon and the boundaries defining
its angle.- Select a camera or light layer.
- (Optional) To set the camera or light to ignore the point of interest, choose Layer > Transform > Auto-Orient and select an option other than Orient Towards Point Of Interest.
- Using the Selection or Rotation tool, do one of the following:
-
To move the camera or light and its point of interest, position the pointer over the axis you want to adjust, and drag.
-
To move the camera or light along a single axis without moving the point of interest, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the axis.
-
To move the camera or light freely without moving the point of interest, drag the camera icon
. -
To move the point of interest, drag the point of interest icon
.

Note: As with all properties, you can also modify a camera
or light’s position, rotation, and orientation properties directly
in the Timeline panel.
