How do I set up a 3D camera in After Effects?

Go to Layer > New > Camera, select your preferred camera type, and adjust settings like focal length and depth of field.

What are the best camera control techniques in After Effects?

Use null objects for precise control, enable Easy Ease for smoother animations, and use the Graph Editor to refine motion curves.

Ensure your layers are set to 3D, check your camera’s depth of field settings, and add motion blur to fix jittery movement.

Draw a path with the Pen Tool, copy the path’s keyframes, and paste them into the camera’s Position property.

Keyframe the Zoom property while moving the camera along the Z-axis to simulate a dramatic perspective shift.
