Fit Vertical: Positions the camera so the full height of the target fits within the height

of the frame.

Fit Both: Positions the camera so both width and height of the target fit within the

frame.

Simple Fit: Positions the camera so both width and height of the project fit within the

frame. If the target object is larger or smaller than the project dimensions it may not
properly fill the frame.

Custom Fit: This option appears when the Framing Offset parameter is manipulated

manually.

Framing Offset:

Three sliders (X, Y, and when expanded, Z) to offset (in pixels) which

point on the target should be centered, relative to the camera. This allows you to target
a point other than the center of the object. The Z slider moves the camera nearer or
farther away from the target.

Offset Path Apex:

A slider to set the position along the path (from the original position

to the framing position) where the bend (if any) will occur if the user chooses to offset
the path. It is expressed as a value between 0 and 1, 0 being at the start of the path, 1 at
the end, and 0.5 being halfway along the path.

Path Offset:

Three sliders (X, Y, and when expanded, Z) to offset the camera’s position

from the path, measured in pixels.

Orientation:

A pop-up menu to set whether the camera is oriented towards the target

at every frame (Orient to Current) or oriented towards the target at its final position (Orient
to Final).

Position Transition Time:

A slider to set how long it will take the camera to reach the

framing position, measured as a percentage of the behavior’s duration.

Rotation Transition Time:

A slider to set how long it will take the camera to reach the

framing orientation, measured as a percentage of the behavior’s duration.

Transition:

A pop-up menu listing choices for the speed of the transition. Choices include:

Constant, Ease In, Ease Out, Ease Both, Accelerate, or Decelerate.

Ease Out Time:

A slider to set the percentage of the behavior’s duration at which the

ease out starts. The ease out will ramp down the behavior’s effect until the end of the
behavior.

Ease Out Curve:

A slider that sets the rate of the ease out.

HUD Controls
The HUD contains a subset of the controls in the Inspector.
