Smooth Camera Movement

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

Move Only

If you intend to pan the camera along a smooth trail without rotating its angle, it is highly recommended to utilize the Path feature.

1. Create a path.

2. Add a new camera and select it.

3. Jump to the start frame for panning the camera. Pick the path.

4. Jump to another time frame and pick another location of the path.

   Note:

   Please refer to the Path section for more information.

Move and Rotate

If you assign the selected camera with Move and Rotate keys, the viewing result can be abrupt and sudden for the intermediate keys. iClone provides a Smooth Camera Movement feature to have the camera pan smoothly.

1. Set Transform and Rotate keys in different time frames for the selected camera.

   

2. Make sure the Selected Cam is selected in the Modify page.

3. Check the Smooth Camera Movement box. iClone will calculate a proper path for the camera based on the position and the angle of the camera.

   

   Note:

   Perform steps 2 and 3 before step 1 will also have the same results.
