Why can't a camera be attached to a container?
It might be useful to stick to things that always follow the camera, such as lights or texts that always remain anchored.
Or can you do it in another way, and am I wrong?
For example, if I want the camera move Through a path, but at the same time
I want a logo or a text that is fixed on the screen, how I made it?
Have I to select "full screen in background"?
Thanks!
You CAN attach lights to the camera layer.
When the camera is following a path (sketch layer) than you can also attach other layers to the same path.
And if you want a logo or text fixed on the screen use 2d in foreground under styles.
Good luck and have fun.

You can also attach the logo to the sketch layer, then it follows the path of the sketch layer.
Position the logo in the neighborhood of the target layer and voila. It works.

You can't attach camera to a container but you can attach container to a camera, maybe this example can help you

Franco, i'm wrong, you can attach container to a SKETCH (not to a camera..sorry) and then attach camera to the same sketch so camera follows all elements in container
Sorrry again for confusion

What I wanted was simply that a layer had no animation over the camera,
the only one I saw it works is the scroller layer.
So you can put a fixed logo that will stand in line with the screen, independent of everything.

@Franco
Because the scroller is also in "2d in Foreground" under the style dropdown.
User guide:
2D in foreground
In this mode the camera position and rotation is ignored. This is useful if you want to keep a logo fixed on screen when animating the camera.

Thank you Michiel, the 2D in foreground there isn't in all layer.
Perhaps it would be enough to insert this command into the container, so you can stick anything to an inanimated level that remains overlaid.

Or you can do it now already with use of the colourmap layer with a complete show as picture in picture and the picture layer does make use of the 2d in foreground style.
Don't forget to set the resolution of the colourmap layer, and if you made the colourmap show in fullscreen you may want to use the camera layer within the coulormap to make it to size.
Good luck and have fun.
