If you have the cam selected you can right click and select the target, but you can’t ctrl select the target there to select both.

This is probably an easy question, but I don’t know the answer.

I’m looking for a quick way to select both at the same time as well as a quick way to key them both at the same time. I am making selection sets right now, but i’d rather not have to keep moving my mouse all the way up to the dropdown and find my camera set. Sounds lazy until you have to do it 300 times a day. Then it just feels like a waste of time.

Other that scripts and selection sets is there a quick way? I just want to see if I’m missing something.

click on the camera line ( that visually connects the camera with the target) -> selects both of them with one click
same is true for lights too…

Ha
I knew it would be something ridiculously simple.

That just makes it so much easier to move around keys and not accidentally forget the target keys or something. I hate it when that happens.

Thanks a bunch. I wish I would have thought to try that before posting. Just didn’t think of it.

Select by name should also distinguish between camera and camera target, so you would select both.
