Blender Basic Workflow

Camera-to-View Lock

#Workflow#Cinematography

Be the director.

The Workflow

  1. Press 0 (Numpad) to enter Camera View.
  2. Press N to open the side panel.
  3. Go to View tab.
  4. Check Camera to View.

The Technique

Now, when you rotate/pan your viewport normally, the camera moves with you. You can fly around the scene to find the perfect angle, frame it, and uncheck the box to lock it in. It feels like holding a real camera.
