ExpertCam Tutorial
This tutorial is for Toribash video-makers who are already familiar with the in-built freecam and feel they have 'out-grown' it. ExpertCam is fantastically simple and useful, and I hope this tutorial demonstrates that.

Link to ExpertCam and FNugget's summary: http://forum.toribash.com/showpost.p...&postcount=110

Please note that you may need to download both ExpertCam and ExpertObject to get it to work - for some reason it wouldn't work for me until I downloaded them both. Also, make sure you create an empty "ExpertCam.txt" and "ExpertObject.txt" for yourself first. If you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments below.

Thanks to TORIITO for the use of his replay (I hope you don't mind that I didn't ask permission).

Please use this thread for any comments on the tutorial as well as any questions you have :)

good understanding of the script and good job of not taking 20 minutes to explain things video editors should already understand (bezier/keyframes/etc), however i think you just wanted to get this tutorial done

cool script
ill be using it from now on

that pretty much sums it up. I mainly just wanted Datskip to hurry up and start using Expertcam and he made me make a tutorial. I'm glad you like Expertcam, feel free to post any questions in this thread when you start using it

Tutorial thread maybe?

Thank you sir! I will most likely turn this thread into a tutorial thread in the near future. It's a pretty tricky thing to explain without video though in my opinion

Pretty clear, I don't see myself making videos soon enough, but if I do, I might have to fully check this tutorial out.

Well, your tutorial is well made and very clear. I will give a try to that script in a video and post it to see what I did good or wrong ;)
Thanks for that.

Anyways, saying what I said before:
Amazing script it adds a lot to editing replays for a video,
and the explanation was, like, pheature said, crystal clear (you stole the words from my mouth).

I don't think a tutorial thread would work for this kind of script, personal opinion.

Yeh I noticed both yours and Datskip's comments disappeared for some reason. Weird...

Hmm, I think a video works better for explaining it but I guess a lot of people like having a thread for reference since it's easier to find the bit you need help on. The main problem though is that I don't consider myself an expert with Expertcam at all, I just know the basics well enough to explain them to others. I feel like my attempt at a full tutorial thread would offend FNugget haha

"Also, make sure you create an empty "ExpertCam.txt" and "ExpertObject.txt" for yourself first"

Have I to put them in the script folder ?

Have I to load both of scripts ?

Yeh, you have to put the empty .txt files in the script folder. And no, you don't have to load both of the scripts, just ExpertCam.lua

I am doing a video test with this script, following your tutorial. I will post it here when it will be done to get your opinion.

I don't know what is happening, but when I keyframe replays with this script, it happens sometimes one or more don't look at the right direction but at the opposite than what I did... Do you know what is it ?

Could you show me a screenshot of the keyframes so I can see what the camera path / camerafocus path is doing? (A screenshot of the situation in freecam)

If it's glitching rather than you making a mistake, it could be to do with the 2 paths crossing over or being too close together.

Don't forget, one path shows where the camera is at all times, whereas the other path shows where the camera is looking at at all times. If they cross over or get too close together, the camera can become unstable around that point
