i do that but when i move the camera the circle moves with it.
is there a way so the camera can only move along the circles path?

if u draw a ep curve for example un line the camera up with the cure go to animation menu and do attach to motion path after selecting cueve nd camera
that shoud do it and set key frames for the angles of the cameras aim

hope this helps
