I certainly understand your request for an override. But do you realize how difficult keyframing would be without this automated roll caused by quaternions? Any relative angular rotation of CameraN.target about CameraN would create an abnormal tilt to the view, except for when both the camera and target remain contained in the horizontal plane xz (in other words, almost always). Still, a simple override would be nice at times. I guess that it's such a rare problem for me that the "rotate the whole scene" workaround is OK for me. — James — Choreo Motion —
