Smooth Camera Movement

Since iClone interpolates between two keys (especially for the Transform keys) in a linear method so a camera's path may not be smooth enough for your liking. Using the Smooth Camera Movement feature will have iClone insert transform keys to make the camera move on a curve-like path.

The illustrations below describe the path before/after the Smooth Camera Movement feature is applied.

Enhance the Use of Smooth Camera Movement

Since iClone interpolates between two transform keys using a linear calculation you may sometimes find an unexpected rotation of the camera after you apply the Smooth Camera Movement, especially when the transform data of the camera involves Rotation.

It is highly recommended to make the camera Look At the target to prevent this behavior because the Look At feature will fix the camera on your desired target even during movement.
