Re: How to avoid abrupt camera movements in videos.
Hi VeroniQ!
Very nice tutorial, indeed. You have obviously put a great del of work in making it.
My project is quite different, and about adjusting the camera speed, which can be done inside SH3D.
Of course it takes some time to do smooth directional changes in the beginning, but the trick is moving the camera with the arrows and not the mouse, and remember to count the frame steps between camera positions. I have found it useful to write down good working counting scripts for acceleration and retardation and use them as guides.
A nice trick is to do one camera movement at the time and use the last camera position as the start of the next, and then do as you do in your tutorial; use another program to chain your clips together.

The example I shoved was not good. It was just showing how to make a tram come to a nice standstill at a tram stop, and just showing the movement of the tram, which is actually the movement of the camera
I have made a short demo of the tram coming to the tram stop, which makes everything a bit more understandable.

Here are two short demos to illustrate some speed changes that are possible in Enko's video plugin.

Hope this makes it easier to understand.
