Turn your phone into a virtual camera for 3D animation. Phone Cam Controller links your Android phone to Adobe After Effects, Blender and Cinema 4D (C4D), so you can move the phone in your hand and the 3D camera in your scene follows in real time. Record real handheld camera moves as keyframes, with no motion capture rig or tracking hardware.

Built for motion designers, 3D artists, animators and video creators who want natural, cinematic camera motion: handheld shots, fly-throughs, orbits, push-ins and camera shake that looks real because it is real.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the free plugin for After Effects, Blender or Cinema 4D from motionist.studio
2. Start the plugin and open the app on the same Wi-Fi, or use your phone's personal hotspot
3. The app finds your computer automatically, no IP addresses to type
4. Pick a camera, move your phone, and hold record to capture the move as keyframes
