CamView lets you set up a shot in 3D before generating it. Place objects and figures, position cameras, keyframe movement — then generate from a camera angle you actually chose rather than one you hoped a prompt would imply.

Why it exists

Prompting a specific camera angle is unreliable. “Low angle, subject to the left, camera pushing in” is a sentence a model may or may not honor. CamView makes it geometry instead of a description.

What you work with

Setting up a shot

1

Block the scene

Add objects and figures and place them. Pose the mannequin if body position matters.
2

Place the camera

Move to the view you want and set the camera there. You can also aim the camera at a selected object.
3

Keyframe movement

Add camera keyframes for a move; keyframe figures for animation. Sequence them on the timeline.
4

Render

Generate from the scene. The result becomes a normal Pixio generation.

Phone as camera (VCam)

VCam turns your phone into the camera with a live viewfinder — move the phone and the shot moves. Physical framing instead of dragging a 3D camera with a mouse. Connect via the VCam option in CamView.
VCam controller pairing and live sensor streaming are app-only — they can’t be driven through the API. Scene documents themselves are scriptable.

Saving

Scenes are documents, saved as you work.
  • Leaving with unsaved changes prompts you first
  • If a scene changed elsewhere, reload before saving so you don’t overwrite the newer version
  • Reset clears objects, cameras, and keyframes — your last save is kept
  • Clear removes objects and figures but keeps cameras and keyframes
Reset and Clear differ in an important way: Clear preserves your camera work, Reset doesn’t. If you’ve spent time on camera moves, use Clear.

Credits

Blocking, posing, camera work, and keyframing are free — you’re arranging a scene, not generating. Credits are spent when you render.
That’s the whole economic argument for CamView: iterate on framing for free, then pay once for the shot you chose.

Where it fits

  • Cinema Studio — plan the sequence of shots; VCam and keyframed cameras appear there too
  • Video Agent — generate a full episode
  • Generate — a single clip, prompt-driven
