# Spreading a Camera Move

Once a camera guide has been added to a panel, you can spread its movement across all panels in the same shot or a specified number of contiguous panels after the current panel in the same shot. The start position of the camera is defined in the first panel and the end position of the camera is defined in the last panel.

1. Select the panel with the camera you want to modify.

2. Add a camera guide or select the existing camera guide:

- Select Tools > Camera Transform.
- Press the Camera Transform button in the Tools Toolbar.

3. Use the handles to move, tighten, widen and rotate the camera until you set it in the desired position.

4. Do one of the following:

- Select Storyboard > Spread Camera Motion.
