The View Keeper: Master Camera Control in Blender
The View Keeper is a powerful yet simple Blender addon that transforms the way you manage cameras. It allows you to store multiple camera views and angles, seamlessly switch between them, and even use unique render settings per camera view/angle. No more duplicating cameras, cluttering your scene, or manually tweaking render settings for each shot. The View Keeper lets you focus on your creativity while it handles the technical hassle.
