tools to pan, orbit, or dolly the camera.

to pan, orbit, or dolly the camera.

Next Camera: When the Canvas is active, this command changes your view to the next scene
camera based on camera order in the Layers list. (Control-C)
•
Select Active Camera: Selects the “active” camera in the project—the topmost camera in the
project that is visible at the current frame (when there are multiple cameras existing at the
same frame in time). (Control-Option-C)
•
Reset View: Resets the camera view to its default orientation. (Control-R)
•
Fit Objects into View: Reframes the current camera to fit the selected objects into the Canvas. (F)
•
Frame Object: Frames the selected objects in the active view. If no objects are selected, Frame
Object resets the reference camera to view all objects in the scene. For more information on
camera views, see
3D View tools on page 920. (Shift-Command-F)

Focus on Object: Used when a camera has depth of field turned on. Adjusts the camera’s
Focus Offset to the selected object. For more information, see

Current settings are indicated with a checkmark beside the item in the menu. This menu is

in natural color and transparent areas reveal the background color as set in the Project
Properties. This is black by default. (Shift-C)

Transparent: Shows the background area of the Canvas as transparent. A checkerboard
pattern appears by default where no images block the background. (Shift-T)

the alpha channel. (V)
