Would be used as a tool that a match mover would need to complete match moves with still or moving background plates. Mostly this is a supplement for users that want to do match moves on Digital Camera's or DV-CAM's. Also a good learning tool on how to override an AE Template written by Alias.

DESCRIPTION:
AEcameraFilmback is used every time you start up a viewer. Meaning all camera's; including Persp, Top, Side, and Bottom will have the attributes described.

Manual CCD override:
If you know the size of your Digital Camera's CCD you can enter the Horz. and Vert. measurements.
WxH ( this number is converted to Inches in the Camera Aperture automatically when you enter a mm dimension).
