AutoCam — An Intuitive Camera Animation System for Blender

Built for artists, AutoCam simplifies cinematic camera animation in Blender. Record natural movements, generate clean, editable paths, and drive robust rigs, without interrupting your creative flow.

Core Features

Capture your camera movement in real time using familiar WASD controls, just like a game.

Camera Path Extraction:
Convert recordings into clean Bezier, Poly, or NURBS curves that stay fully editable.

One-Click Camera Rig:
Generate a robust rig with intuitive controls and tracking settings.

Animatable Speed:
Control your camera rig’s speed dynamically. Easily keyframe forward, pause, or reverse motions.

Easy Cleanup:
Clear all AutoCam data in one click, keeping your scene organized and clean.

Context-aware panels, clearer tooltips, and smart defaults.
