Adding a Camera and Orbit Null with Extendscript

$

Hey Guys,

 

Total Noob to all this scripting stuff, but I'm loving it so far!

 

I've got a problem where, I'm using the following to try and add a camera to my comp:

 

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

 

var myLayers = myComp.layers;

 

app.beginUndoGroup("New Cam");

 

myLayers.addCamera("cam", [0,0]);

 

myLayers.addNull();

 

myComp.layer(1).name = "CAM_NULL";

 

myComp.layer(2).parent = myComp.layer(1);

 

app.endUndoGroup();

 

The problem I'm having is that when I just add a camera and a null using the UI, they are set up all centred nice and the other layers in my scene don't change. But, when I use my script, it seems like all of the layers in my comp shift to the right and down. I'm noticing this is because when I add the camera using the script, the Point of Interest and Position values for the camera go from (0,0,0) to (-960, -540, 0) when they get parented to the CAM_NULL. :/

 

Anyhow, any input as to why this might be happening?
