Why we like it

Quick Camera stands out in the Superhive library for consolidating camera creation, lens adjustment, animation cameras and panorama rendering into one panel, with broad Blender version support from 2.93 to 4.3.

What is Quick Camera?

Quick Camera is an add-on for Blender that focuses on setting up and organizing cameras. It shows camera thumbnails, creates cameras quickly, and offers quick selection and management across three modes: Photo, Animation and Panorama.

Camera lens parameters can be adjusted quickly, and the camera viewport can be used with Shift+`. Animated cameras can be created based on an existing camera, and panorama rendering runs through Cycles. The add-on also includes rendering management, quick rendering, and the ability to open rendering folders with a click.

Recent updates added a pie menu, configurable under Preference > Add-ons > QuickCamera to set shortcuts for switching to camera menus, along with per-frame focal length saving for animation cameras, camera animation properties, and interval and lens time controls. Scene names are linked to camera object names. Quick Camera runs on Blender 2.93 through 4.3 and is released under the GPL license, with documentation available from the developer.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Quick Camera support?

Quick Camera lists support for a wide range of Blender releases, from 2.93 up through 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. If you move between projects on different Blender builds, that range covers both older and current versions. For the most current compatibility details, check the developer's page, since supported versions can change as the add-on is updated over time.

Does Quick Camera support panorama rendering?

Quick Camera includes a dedicated Panorama mode, and its fast panorama rendering runs through Cycles. Alongside that, the add-on provides rendering management, quick rendering, and the ability to open rendering folders with a click. Camera thumbnails also help you preview cameras before rendering. For a walkthrough of the panorama workflow, the developer offers documentation and a Panorama Mode video covering how the feature is used.

How do I set up shortcuts for Quick Camera's camera menus?

Quick Camera added pie menu functionality that you can configure under Preference > Add-ons > QuickCamera. From there you can set shortcuts that call up the pie menu and switch to the corresponding camera menus. This is one of the more recent additions to the add-on. Scene names are also linked to camera object names in recent versions. For step-by-step setup guidance, refer to the developer's documentation.

Can Quick Camera create animated cameras?

Quick Camera can create animated cameras based on an existing camera, working within its Animation mode. Recent updates added per-frame focal length saving for animation cameras, camera animation properties, and controls for the interval time and lens time of animation cameras. Earlier bugs affecting animation camera rendering and camera duplication were also fixed. For more on the animation workflow, the developer provides an Animation Mode video and documentation.

Is Quick Camera free?

Quick Camera is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Because pricing and licensing terms can change over time, it's worth confirming the current details on the developer's page before you download. The GPL license governs how you can use and redistribute the add-on. You'll also find documentation there covering the Photo, Animation and Panorama modes.
