What is a macro?

Which Curve Editor Cycle mode continuously cycles the selected keyframes?

What type of camera or 3D tracking file can the MultiPlane node import?

What MultiPlane parameter locks the layer to the camera perspective?

A macro is the combination of commonly used functions in a new function.

The RepeatValue Cycle mode continuously cycles the selected keyframes.

The MultiPlane node supports .ma (Maya ASCII) files, allowing you to import 3D camera paths or use 3D tracking data clouds.

The Attach Layer to Camera button locks a layer to the camera perspective.
