Did you know...

The Simple Camera Rig (or SCR) works great with any 3D objects like native After Effects 3D layers, extruded vector layers using the Ray-traced rendering engine, and plugins we all use and love, like Element 3D, Plexus, Particular, Form, Mir, ShapeShifter AE, FreeForm, Proanimator... you name it. It works with the real built-in After Effects camera, so it can handle anything you throw at it.

Installation

Extract the ZIP file into your Scripts folder (not ScriptsUI folder). Before you run the script for the first time make sure your PresetEffects.xml file has Read/Write privileges. The script will attempt to make some necessary changes to that file. If you encounter any problems make sure to watch the installation video.
