rotateOrder
The order in which rotations are executed, by dimension. Defaults to XZY.
interestDistance
This parameter defines the distance of the camera target to the camera. By default, this
parameter is set to an expression that automatically sets its value.
filmGate
The filmGate pop-up menu provides presets for setting the filmBack width and height
parameters. There are options corresponding to most standard film formats.
filmBack (width, height)
Represents the width and height of the image that strikes the virtual film, in inches.
Note: If you’re not importing camera data and you want to avoid squeezing the image
improperly, make sure the aspect ratio of the filmBack width and height parameters
matches that of the input image.
scale
Represents the size of the camera compared to the scene. Lowering this value reduces
the visible area taken in by the virtual lens, increasing the size of the scene relative to
the viewer. Increasing this value increases the visible area seen by the lens, reducing
the size of the scene relative to the viewer.
Changing the scale parameter also changes the effective focal length of the camera. For
example, if the focalLength parameter is set to 50, setting the scale to 2 changes the
effective focal length to 25. Setting the scale to 0.5 changes the effective focal length
to 100.
fitResolution
A pop-up menu with four options: Fill, Horizontal, Vertical, and Overscan. This
parameter determines how differences between the filmBack aspect ratio and that of
the input image are resolved.
filmFitOffset
If the filmBack resolution is different from that of the clipLayer, this parameter offsets
the image within the filmBack resolution in inches.
filmOffset (x, y)
Offsets the image within the filmBack in relation to the area defined by the clipLayer.
This parameter is measured in inches.
useDeviceAspectRatio
If this parameter is turned off, the camera uses the aspect ratio of the input image. If
this parameter is turned on, the deviceAspectRatio parameter is used instead.
