Describe the solution you'd like

As the name suggests, support for different types of easings when using camera movements.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When creating cutscenes, a lot of them feel very "bland?". With easings, they just feel way better imo.

Interesting, anyway I think that LINEAR and SMOOTH interpolations are the only needed ones, exactly how Blockbench animations work.

This is what it looks like in the upcoming update. No instant change of direction between camera keyframes. Will be released in the next weeks, I'm working hard on the recode of the plugin.

About other easing functions

If you want to replicate the "fast camera then slow camera" you can already do that in the upcoming version by creating two or more keyframes with different duration.
