Camera state animations

[Rychillie]

I was just testing the app for the first time and I think it's going very well!

But I was thinking when editing, it would be cool to have a transitions/animations feature when changing the camera's state, between Hide, FullScreen and showing the normal camera...

I think this would be really cool for us to create Tutorials and presentations, at some point we could even have a Reposition option, in case you want to show something that the camera is covering!

Another thing I would like is to be able to hide the camera while recording my screen, thinking about the fact that I'm just recording with my Mac using my iPhone camera on a tripod, I know what my camera will look like, I could just "crop" the position maybe later... But during the recording, I think it looks a little strange having me there on the screen appearing while recording, a distraction...

hi @Rychillie, thanks for sharing the ideas. I appreciate it.

I will add toggle option to settings to hide camera while recording. The transitions/animations I already planned but wanted to make current features work without issues first, but this is something that will land soon.

I think this would be really cool for us to create Tutorials and presentations, at some point we could even have a Reposition option, in case you want to show something that the camera is covering!

This is very good idea, and this "dynamic" positions can be configurable on the timeline region popover, like it's currently done for custom zoom if you right click on it. I will add this when implementing the hide regions on the timeline.

Please come up with the ideas for what else can be improved when you have time.

Unrelated; btw yesterday I enrolled for Apple Developer Program, already payed and received the invoice but still waiting for the final approval so I can sign this app properly without macOS Gatekeeper complaining after the download. This is kinda the biggest issue at the moment.

@Rychillie I made camera animations work, you can check demo https://youtu.be/BS3x2-t6Jmc let me know what you think.

Please come up with more ideas ;)
