• Drag inside the white rectangle to adjust the X or Y values.
Set the location of the camera motion path apex
If the Framing behavior settings create a curved camera motion path, you can adjust the vertex
(the highest point of the curve) using the Offset Path Apex parameter’s onscreen control.
1. In Motion, click the Camera pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the canvas, then
choose Perspective.
2. With the Framing behavior selected, drag the Offset Path Apex (the small white box)
along the white line that connects the red curved motion path to reposition the apex.
Tip: If you don’t see the small white box, drag over the dolly tool (in the top-left
corner of the canvas) to zoom out a bit.
Offset the camera motion path
You can offset the camera’s motion path that is created by the Framing behavior using the
Path Offset parameter’s onscreen controls.
1. In Motion, click the Camera pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the canvas, then
choose Perspective.
2. With the Framing behavior selected, do one of the following:
• Drag the green arrow to adjust the path along the Y axis.
• Drag the red arrow to adjust the path along the X axis.
• Drag the blue arrow to adjust the path along the Z axis.
• Drag inside the white circle (where the color circles meet) to adjust the path along
all three axes simultaneously.
Note: If the transform controls (color arrows) appear within the framing onscreen controls
in the canvas, the framing is adjusted rather than the camera motion path. If this occurs,
orbit the camera view so that the transform controls are offset from the framing control.
For more information on the 3D transform controls, see Transform layers in 3D space
in Motion.
