Detached Planes

By default, Planes are attached to the Camera. It means that if you move the Camera, Planes will follow the Camera. In some cases, it might not be an interesting feature, for instance if a character is placed in the environment and the Camera does a dolly or a traveling move.

The only solution then is to detach the Plane off the Camera. To do so, click on this icon:

• in the Board View, in the corresponding Plane

• in the Shot View, after selecting the right Plane

Once detached, if the World Outliner is active, you will realise the detached Plane won’t be attached the to Camera anymore.

Note

The only way then to cancel this decision is to re-attach the Plane manually.

Warning

Add Transform Tracks and Keys ONLY after you detached a Plane. If you add a Transform Track and Keys before, the coordinates will no longer take in consideration the coordinates of the parent (the Camera). Your detached Plane will be then offset.
