I use After Effects CS 5.5 on an OSX 10.7.4.

When I try to use a Camera Orbit or Track tool, it doesn't want to do it. Never moves. It just makes that error-beep every time I click.

I want to find out what's wrong with it, what couldv'e happened and how I can get it to move again.

Thank you

Well, are you actually using a camera/ are in one of the custom 3D views? Y' know, it's not gonna work in Front view or any of that....

Have you created a camera in your comp?

Are you viewing the comp with the active camera?

Are your layers 3D layers?

Yes to all of them. However, I already found the problem...the eye icon beside it was shut off.
But thank you for your help.
