Motion Camera Addon earns its place in the superhive library by handling camera shake, orbits, follow, tracking, and dolly zoom procedurally, then letting you bake the result to standard keyframes for rendering.
Motion Camera Addon is a procedural camera tool for Blender from EdenWeby 3D. It generates camera motion effects, including camera shake, orbits, third-person follow, tracking, and dolly zoom, without manual animation. Effects are calculated in real time each frame, so pressing Play previews the motion, and a single toggle switches any effect on or off.
The camera shake includes seven presets, Stable, Phone, Head POV, Car Chase, Rough Ride, Extreme, and Cinematic, with independent translation and rotation controls, per-axis amplitude control, and an adjustable speed parameter. You can orbit any object using a customizable radius and height with automatic tracking during the orbit, follow an object with position offset and adjustable smoothness, and add the Hitchcock-style dolly zoom through slider-based focal length control.
When a shot is set, keyframe baking converts any procedural effect to standard Blender keyframes in one click, keeping the effect details for sharing and rendering. A demo video is available.
Motion Camera Addon is best for adding procedural camera motion to Blender scenes, including camera shake and handheld looks, orbiting shots, third-person and game-style follow cameras, and dolly zoom effects.
Motion Camera Addon is completely free to download and use.
Motion Camera Addon ships with seven procedural camera shake presets: Stable, Phone, Head POV, Car Chase, Rough Ride, Extreme, and Cinematic. Beyond the presets, it offers independent translation and rotation controls, per-axis amplitude control for custom movements, and an adjustable speed parameter. These controls let you tune each shake to the movement you want. The shake runs procedurally rather than as fixed animation, so adjustments update the result without manual keyframing at each step.
Motion Camera Addon calculates its effects in real time, procedurally on each frame, so you can press Play to preview the motion as it happens. Toggling any effect on and off is a single switch, which makes it easy to compare shots with and without the movement applied. Because the calculation is procedural, changing a parameter updates the result immediately rather than requiring you to rebuild an animation by hand each time you tweak something.
Motion Camera Addon includes keyframe baking, which converts any procedural effect into standard Blender keyframes with one click. The baking maintains the effect details, so the motion you set up procedurally carries over to regular keyframes. This is useful for sharing and rendering, since the baked result no longer depends on the addon's real-time calculation. You can bake shake, orbit, follow, tracking, or the dolly zoom effect using the same one-click process.
Motion Camera Addon can produce the dolly zoom effect, the iconic Hitchcock and Vertigo look, through a simple slider-based control. It handles automatic focal length adjustment, lets you set a customizable minimum and maximum focal length, and includes an adjustable movement distance. Like the addon's other effects, the dolly zoom is procedural, so you shape it with the sliders rather than keyframing the focal length and camera position manually before baking it down.
Motion Camera Addon is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page from EdenWeby 3D for the current terms before you rely on it for a project. The addon covers procedural camera shake, orbit and zoom, third-person follow, advanced tracking, dolly zoom, and keyframe baking, all controlled from within Blender. A demo video is available if you want to see the tools before installing.
