Camera Control

Camera Controls — Cinematic Camera Timeline for StarRupture

A keyframe-based camera timeline that lets you create cinematic camera shots in StarRupture.

Fly a free camera around your base, drop keyframes wherever you want the shot to pass through, then scrub, edit and play the entire camera move back — like a video editing timeline, except the timeline drives the game's actual camera.

What It Does

Camera Controls gives you a complete in-game camera editor for creating smooth, controlled camera movements and cinematic shots.

• []Free-fly camera — detach the camera from your character and freely fly around using WASD + QE, mouse look, boost, crawl, roll and live FOV controls.

  []Keyframes — record the camera's position, rotation and FOV at the press of a key.

  []Timeline editor — edit camera moves using a draggable playhead, trimming, ripple editing, zoom and pan.

  []Per-keyframe controls — adjust speed, smoothness, ease in/out, FOV, focus, fades and optional look-at targets.

  []Animated depth of field — give every keyframe its own focus distance and aperture to create focus pulls between shots.

  []Rupture cues — place timeline markers that can start, pause, resume, cancel and manipulate Rupture events during playback.

  []Live scrubbing — drag the playhead and the camera follows the path immediately.

  []3D camera path — keyframes are displayed in the world as a spline with camera frustums and selectable handles.

  []Quick shot selection — double-click a keyframe to fly the camera directly to that exact pose.

  []Multi-selection — Ctrl+click multiple keyframes and cues, then move or delete them as a group.

  []Playback mode — run a clean take with a countdown while the editor and game HUD are out of the way.

  []Projects saved to disk — projects use editable JSON files stored under Plugins\CameraControls\Projects.

  []Viewport integration — the game view is fitted into the available space around the editor panels rather than simply covering the shot.

  Getting Started

  • []Load a save.

    []Press F7 to open the editor.

    []Fly the camera to where your shot should begin.

    []Press K to create the first keyframe.

    []Fly to the next position and press K again.

    []Continue adding keyframes until your camera move is complete.

    []Press Space to preview the timeline.

    []Press F8 to run the shot in playback mode.

    []Press F7 again to leave the editor and restore your character.

    The first time the editor is opened, it displays a short warning explaining that your character is temporarily removed from the active world while editing and that timeline cues can affect the save you are currently playing.

    The keybind cheat-sheet remains visible in the editor and shows your actual configured bindings.

    Tip: Right-click the timeline track to quickly add a keyframe or world cue at the position you clicked.
