Video animation: Image orientation suddenly flips 180 degrees

I’m recording a pretty common video trajectory:

  1. Zoom in
  2. Tilt down (90 degree)
  3. Zoom out

Everything looks fine until the tilt angle reaches exactly 90 degrees, then the image orientation suddenly flips around, rendering the video footage useless.

I actually wanted to create a support request but can’t delete this post. A apologize.

Hello Reto,

Indeed, when the vector of the video animation is vertical or close to vertical there is an ambiguity when rendering the video and the flipping effect appears.
In order to avoid this effect, you should avoid having vertical angles in the video animation trajectory.
