Refine pacing Use the Speed, Segment, and Shake panels to shape timing and add camera shake. |
Reference
Panel overview
| — Placement — add, select, and delete waypoints and control points | — Path — build, recalculate, and loop the camera path |
| — Speed — global speed ramp settings, apply or bypass | — Segment — per-segment timing, easing, and lens zoom keys |
| — Shake — add, remove, and reorder camera shake layers | — Viewport — toggle overlays: speed-coloured path, ticks, frustum, guides |
Reference
Key operators
| Place Waypoint | Adds a waypoint at the current view / frame |
| Build Path / Recalculate Path | Generates or updates the Bézier path |
| Apply Speed Ramps | Bakes speed ramp timing onto the path |
| Save as Shot / New Shot | Manages multiple camera shots |
| Add / Remove / Move Shake Layer | Manages the shake stack |
| Add Extra Zoom Key / Regenerate Lens Keys | Manages lens / zoom keyframes |
| Delete Waypoint / Delete All | Cleanup |
Reference
Preferences
Addon Preferences set factory defaults and the arc-length sample count, which controls path accuracy. Use Apply Defaults to Scene to push those defaults into the current file.
