I have a scene where a jet is doing a fly-by. I want the camera to point at the jet and track its movement. I used the point at command in the properites tray/modifiers window. But what is happening, is that camera is moving with the jet. What I want is for the camera to stay still and just turn or (I guess you call this panning) pan with the jet as it goes by. Is there a solution? Thank you very much

You can use key frames to do this. Set a key frame with the camera pointing at the jet at its start position and another with the camera pointing at the jet' end position. Keith

Datastorm, are you sure you're not using the "track" behaviour instead of "point at" behaviour ?

Is that what I'm suspose to use . . .the "point at" behavior?

Yes :) The "point at" behaviour in the z axis . The "track" behaviour makes an object follow another one, in position or orientation, so that's definitively not what you need ;)

Yep -- "Point at" is panning, "Track" is, well, in movie-making terms, tracking with an object -- or moving the camera along with the object. Hope you have your answer!
