# Adding Cameras to a Scene

Toon Boom Studio adds a camera element, which you can zoom, pan and truck, to all of your scenes.

You can add additional cameras to your scene to try different framing. After you add a camera, you use the Camera List toolbar buttonto select the camera you want to use to see your scene and to change the framing of that camera. When you export your scene, Toon Boom Studio films the scene from the perspective of the selected camera only.

There is also a default scene camera, which does not appear in the Timeline window. You cannot change the properties of the default camera. If you want to create any camera effects, you must add camera elements.

To add a camera to the scene:

1. Select Element > Add > Camera.

A new camera element appears in the Timeline window and in the Camera List toolbar button. Toon Boom Studio gives the camera a default name.

The composition order of the camera in the Timeline window does not affect the output of your final movie.

2. Select the new camera from the Camera List toolbar button. The contents of the Camera View window changes to show the view this camera has.
