Looking Around the Viewport by Offsetting and Overscanning

Looking around the Viewport without actually moving the camera is especially useful when a camera has been brought in from another package - representing a camera track for instance - and you don’t want to change its position or orientation.

To look around inside the Viewport:

1.

Click to bring up the pan/zoom toolbar.

2.

To make changes to the current view:

• Type in the hOff field to pan left (negative value) or right (positive value).

• Type in the vOff field to pan up (positive value) or down (negative value).

• Type in the overscan field to zoom in (value between zero and one) or out (value above one).

3.

Click Reset to restore defaults.

Tip:  All three text fields can be scrubbed by dragging on their names.

While you have the toolbar up the Pan-zoom active warning text is displayed in the top-left corner of the Viewport. When hOff, vOff, or overscan values change from their defaults, Katana displays a warning icon on the left of the toolbar.
