Camera View


    This effect distorts a clip by simulating a camera viewing the clip from different angles. By controlling the location of the camera, you distort the shape of the clip.

    Latitude

    Moves the camera vertically. The effect makes the clip appear to be flipping vertically.

    Longitude

    Moves the camera horizontally. The effect makes the clip appear to be flipping horizontally.

    Roll

    Rolls the camera, thus appearing to rotate the clip.

    Focal length

    Changes the focal length of the camera lens. Shorter lengths provide wider views, whereas longer focal lengths provide narrower but closer views.

    Distance

    Sets the distance between the camera and the center of the clip.

    Zoom

    Enlarges or reduces the view of the clip.

    Fill color

    Specifies the background color.

    Fill alpha channel

    When checked, makes the background transparent (useful if the clip with the effect is superimposed). To access this check box from the Effect Controls palette, click Setup. This option works only if you place the clip in a superimpose track, apply Transparency, and select the Alpha Channel key type.
