Assign an image plane to a camera shot

To assign an image plane to a new camera shot

In the Camera Sequencer, select Create > Shot > .
In the Create Shot Options, specify the file you want to assign to this shot’s camera using the Image option.
Note
If you specify an image plane on a camera during shot creation, the image plane does not move to the new camera if you change the camera used for the shot.

To assign an image plane to an existing camera shot

Do one of the following:
- If the camera shot has no current image plane, -click the camera shot and select Attach Image Plane from the pop-up menu, then browse to select a file.
- To change an existing image plane, -click the camera shot and select Image Plane Attribute Editor to open the Attribute Editor for the current image plane, then select a new file using the Image Name attribute.

Note

Image planes in the Camera Sequencer are designed to play movies, so the image plane Type attribute is automatically set to Movie.

If you want to assign a still image instead of a movie, you can change the image plane Type to Image File. If your system supports QuickTime, you can still use the Movie type and QuickTime can read some images as a single-frame movie.

To use the image plane to hide geometry

Set the image plane opacity to 1.0.
The scene geometry will not be drawn.
