Overview

The Automatic Camera Motion System (AutoCam) is a dynamic camera control solution designed to enhance visual storytelling by synchronizing camera movements with music beats, actor orientation, and configurable parameters.

Key Features

Dynamic adjustment of camera motion based on music beats.
Configurable parameters for distance, target selection, and motion paths.
Support for actor orientation alignment.
Randomized camera motion generation with seed control.
Fade-to-black transitions with adjustable duration and probability.
Audio sensitivity for motion responsiveness to sound levels.

Use Cases

Creating cinematic sequences in real-time.
Enhancing the visual appeal of dance or music-based performances.
Automating camera control for interactive applications or games.
