Add convenience functions for common animation workflows #220

It's been suggested a few times that it would be nice to have some pre-baked animations for common situations. This comment summarizes the idea well:

... making some standard "pre-recorded" "Movie" instances that you could then apply regardless of your data if you wanted to automate and standardize movie making - like a "zoom in" / "zoom out", or "loop through sliders once", or "full 3D rotation".

Pre-baked workflows

Implementation

I personally have also found that it is difficult to make a perfectly even 360 degree rotation animation with interactive keyframes.

Being able to mix and match these sorts of pre-set elements when making animations interactively would be very helpful.

Very cool! Won't implement myself but happy to provide guidance for anyone who wants to have a go :-)
