    I feel that some people might be struggling with camera work and using the mod in general so I thought it would be a nice idea to have a place where all tips for the mod can be stored, so I thought we should have a forum post for them, so here it is.

    Spoiler: The Tips

    I also have a tip: Play around with time keyframes. Especially if you don't really know how they work. It can be really difficult to understand them, but take the time you need. It will be worth it.
    I recommend checking out the documentation and the tutorial by CrushedPixel.

    I hope you all have a great time with the Replay Mod!

    Things I learned by trial and error (That may not be 100% correct but work for me):

    When adding Time Frames, hit 'V' to sync the timelines and keep everything in "Real Time". I was having trouble manually placing the timeframes and the action would be slower or faster than real time.

    The chat key is [Enter] by default and is used to toggle between Timeline and camera movement modes. I was using the / key by mistake and it was driving me bonkers!

    For BEGINNERS (like me), set a time frame every time you set a key frame. This will make the camera scene move just like you saw it on the screen as you created it. Don't forget to sync your timeline ('V' key) every time you set a new key and time frame.

    Like I said, this probably isn't the PRO way to do it, but using the above tips, I actually got a replay video that looks like I thought it would.

    Try to move at a constant speed, based on time difference between keyframes.

    What I always do is place one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end. That's another way, and saves me time because I don't want subtle slowmotions or fast-motions because all the time keyframes aren't synced exactly to the actual timeline (the non-keyframe timeline)
