Extremely exaggerated Perspective view.

I have an extremely exaggerated Perspective view. I can't seem to find a way to change the view parameters like you can for a camera. It seems like the view angle is super, super wide. I've tried to reset the view and frame objects, etc., but the wide angle still persists. Can I properly reset it anywhere?

Try double-clicking on the 3D tools in the top right of the Canvas. And/or, have you made adjustments to the camera's Angle of View in the Inspector?

Doubling clicking seems to be the same thing as Reseting the view with Ctrl-R. It is just the standard Perspective view. So there don't seem to be any parameters to change.

I have changed the angle of view for my camera, but that shouldn't have any effect on the Perspective view... should it?

Does your Active Camera view look ok?

Does your scene look as you would expect it to in Active Camera view?

Yeah. It's everything, but Perspective. Maybe I'll save and restart...

I'd try dollying way back. Hold shift as you Move back.

One thing I'd try (for what it's worth, it's easy) is to highlight and copy your layers, and paste them into a new Motion project file. Maybe the existing file is wonky.

Thanks zoom00! That fixed it... I wonder what the heck happened to the perspective view.

Thank you very much!
