You can also hold Shift during a pan to lock to either the vertical or horizontal axis. Canvas pan: Right mouse (active camera view only).Pan: Right mouse (perspective + orthographic views only), Alt+Middle mouse or Ctrl+Left mouse.We’ve redesigned all the camera shortcuts.

If you don’t have a layer selected you’ll orbit around the center of the scene instead. This means you can specify precisely what you want to orbit around by first selecting it in the Viewer or on the timeline. That’s why we’ve introduced Orbit around select layer, which locks the orbit to the currently selected 3D layer. This is a fast, convenient way to move around but in complex 3D scenes can become unpredictable. Orbit around clicked point is the mode that’s always been in HitFilm, drawing a line from the mouse pointer into 3D space and orbiting around that point. Of course, there’s always been an orbit tool but it’s now got two modes which you can switch between by holding down on the button. This is the Zoom control, providing a quick way to adjust zoom without needing to dig into the Controls panel.

In the Viewer you’ll spot a new camera control at the top-right of each view.

Update #3 adds new features and rethinks the interface. The way HitFilm’s camera works hasn’t changed since version 1 and we’ve wanted to give it an overhaul for some time. We’ve got particle performance boosts, new camera controls, new auto-alignment and extensive new performance management tools. Grab the download and then read on, because we’ve made a lot of changes.
