Why we like it

The View Keeper (Lite) earns its place for consolidating multiple shots onto one camera, so switching views and their render settings takes a single click rather than a fresh setup for each angle.

What is The View Keeper (Lite) - Batch Rendering And Camera Management Addon?

The View Keeper (Lite) is a Blender addon that changes how you manage cameras, letting you store multiple views and angles on a single camera and switch between them instantly with a single click. Instead of duplicating cameras for each shot, you keep everything on one camera, which reduces scene clutter and keeps multi-shot and animation work easier to organize.

Each stored view can carry its own render settings, including focal length, depth of field, render format (square, landscape, or portrait), output location, and file format such as PNG, TIFF, JPEG, or OpenEXR. Different views can save to different folders automatically, and you can render multiple views at once without adjusting settings by hand for each one.

Two tools handle setup and updates: Find Camera automatically detects and saves records for every camera in the scene, and Refresh Camera Records updates a saved camera's settings after you select it, adjust, and apply. This is the Lite edition, a stripped-down version of the full package available on the developer's website.

Frequently asked questions

How does The View Keeper (Lite) handle scenes with many cameras?

The View Keeper (Lite) includes a Find Camera tool built for scenes with several cameras. It automatically detects every camera present and saves a record for each one, so you don't have to select and assign settings manually across a large project. Once records exist, you can switch between the stored views and their settings from a single camera. This keeps multi-camera scenes organized without duplicating cameras, and it pairs with the Refresh Camera Records tool when you need to update any saved camera's configuration later.

Can each camera view in The View Keeper (Lite) have its own render settings?

The View Keeper (Lite) saves unique render settings and links them to individual camera views. Each stored view can hold its own render format, such as square, landscape, or portrait, its own output location so renders go to different folders automatically, and its own file format. It also stores focal length and depth of field settings per view. Because every view keeps its own configuration, you can render multiple views at once without adjusting settings by hand for each shot.

What file formats can The View Keeper (Lite) render to?

The View Keeper (Lite) can save renders in several file formats, including PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and OpenEXR, and links a chosen format to each stored camera view. Alongside file format, each view can carry its own render format, whether square, landscape, or portrait, and its own output folder so files save to different locations automatically. This means you can set up different format and output combinations across your views and render them together in one pass rather than exporting each separately.

Is The View Keeper (Lite) free to use?

The View Keeper (Lite) is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to Blender without a purchase. It is described as a stripped-down version of the full package, which the developer offers separately through the official website. For current licensing terms, what the full package adds, and any differences between editions, check the developer's page. Pricing and availability can change over time, so the developer's site is the most reliable place to confirm the latest details.

How is The View Keeper (Lite) different from the full package?

The View Keeper (Lite) is a stripped-down version of The View Keeper full package, which is available on the developer's official website. The Lite edition covers core camera management: storing multiple views and angles on a single camera, switching between them with a single click, saving unique render settings per view, and rendering multiple views at once. To see what the full package includes beyond the Lite edition, visit the developer's website where the complete version is offered.
