Camera Navigator

Developer: Pixel Egg Studio

Download Free

Blender add-on for moving cameras with viewport-style mouse controls while staying in camera view.

What Camera Navigator does

Camera Navigator lets you position a Blender camera the same way you navigate the viewport, so you are not guessing at what the lens will show. The camera view stays visible while you work, giving a live preview of the framing.

Scroll the middle mouse to zoom the camera in and out, drag it to rotate, and hold Shift while dragging to pan. Because the controls mirror ordinary viewport movement, there is little new to learn. Documentation is included. Anyone who frames shots by eye, rather than typing transform values, will appreciate the direct feedback.
