Hi all i created a scene, but i cannot attach a camera to its path ( the movie only takes 1 sec (25 frames)) but all i see after rendering is a still movie for a second

Hi Darkness, Perhaps I can shed some "Light" on this for you.groan To constrain a camera to a path: 1st create a path. 2nd select the camera and click on the"A" next to the cameras bounding box to bring up the objects attributes dialog. select the "linking" tab and click on the "object parent name" select your path from the drop menu. you will then be presented with more options .select"Constrain to path" now you will see a number scroller. select 00 to put the camera to the beginning of the path or 100 to place it at the end of the path. select okay(Checkmark) and get outta dare. now..the camera should be at the beginning of the path. create a keyframe at frame 1 now drag the scrubber to the end of the animation. go back into the cameras attributes dialog and now select 100 to place the camera at the end of the path. clik okay. now make a keyframe at the end of the animation. now from top view do a test run on the animation to make sure it's moving along the path. now switch to "Camera view and render. Be sure not to render in Directors view or it will just render the same view again and again, hope that helps. Hawkfyr
