View2Cam — Turn Any Viewport Into a Camera

Record • Smooth • Retime — the fastest way to get a cinematic camera in Blender.

Stop fighting with camera placement and manual keyframing. View2Cam lets you frame your shot by simply navigating the viewport, then turns that exact view into a real camera in one click — with no cropping. Want motion? Just navigate while recording and your orbit/pan/zoom becomes clean, editable animation. Built-in smoothing and retiming tools turn shaky hand-navigation into professional, steady, cinematic camera moves.

Perfect for product shots, automotive renders, turntables, beauty shots, and flythroughs — no animation skills required.

✨ Key Features

📸 Create Camera From View — One click creates a camera that matches your viewport exactly: position, rotation, and field of view.
🚫 No-Crop Matching — Reads the viewport's true projection matrix and matches the render aspect, so the camera captures exactly what you see — never a zoomed-in crop.
🔴 Record Viewport → Animation — Press record, navigate freely, and your movement becomes camera keyframes. Live "Recording" state with one-click Stop or ENTER to save.
⚡ Heavy-Scene Friendly — Samples to memory and bakes on stop, so there's no per-frame scene re-evaluation — smooth capture even in dense, high-poly scenes.
🎯 Keyframe Every N Frames — Drop one keyframe every N frames with averaged sampling for naturally smoother motion and lighter curves.
〰️ Smooth / Refine — Gaussian de-jitter, auto-bezier handles, and keyframe simplification. Smooth Location, Rotation, and Lens independently.
⏱️ Retime / Rhythm — Fix uneven hand-timing with Constant Speed (arc-length re-sampling of translation and rotation), Ease In/Out for cinematic acceleration, and a Set Duration control.
🟦 Composition Guides — Rule of Thirds, Golden Triangles, Harmonious Triangles, Center & Diagonal — shown in the viewport and camera view.
🎞️ Perspective & Orthographic — Full support for both projection types.
🔍 Optional Lens/Zoom Recording — Capture focal-length and ortho-scale changes too.
