Animate Motion Path in Solaris ? July 23, 2026, 5:54 a.m.

Hello,

In Sop context, I remember how wonderfull are Motion path to fine tune camera animation :


Since Solaris I can't fine tune anymore my camera motion path, instead of that I see an apex node created when clicked on same "pose" icon button (named "animate" in solaris) on the left of the viewport.



Is there an explanation of doing here same thing as is SOP and with same simplicity ?

Camera crop handle in Solaris still unusable ? July 23, 2026, 5:40 a.m.

Hello,

What's the purpose of this crop handle in solaris if there is no way to take a benefit from here ?



If mean, This crop tool is super usefull for doing croping region and even animated crop region for quick last minute corrections.
I regulary use it in sop context.
But since Solaris we may have to make crop camera inside sop camera imported from lop, then copy paste each animation expression (Left Crop, Right Crop, etc.) parameter to the right "Data Window NC" parameters.

At the time of H22, so 5.5 years after the release of Solaris, there still no way do it better ?
