Adding A Camera Function To An Autopostion Action
I have an Autoposition Action of about 15 frames, after frame 4, I want to have the camera take a picture and then continue on with the rest of the Action. Is it possible to add this camera function into the Action? Or will I have to split up the Action into 2 separate Actions with the camera function in between them? Thanks
