I’m trying to add an animation (Follow Path of Orbit)， I can see the yellow circle with white points surrounding my object. If I move the white point in the yellow circle, the track in the screen and camera positions in the animation key frame will change automatically.

Then, I want to define the yellow circle more precisely, so I try to modify camera positions in the animation key frame to control the animation track and it cannot work.

Can you give me some advice ???
