The source is an explicit choice in the mapping form, never inferred from which columns happen to be filled in.\r\n- **Translate X/Y/Z**: shifts the camera's position by a fixed offset without moving the look-at point \u2014 a companion to Rotation, applied after it. Works for both generated curves and imported trajectories.\r\n- Plugin icon, and QGIS Plugin Repository metadata (repository/tracker/homepage links) for marketplace submission.\r\n\r\n### Changed\r\n- **One coordinate system in the UI**: Focus Point X/Y/Z and CSV trajectory import now always use map/project CRS \u2014 the same coordinates the 2D map shows. Scene-local (3D-view-relative) coordinates are no longer displayed or accepted anywhere in the plugin.\r\n- CSV mapping form reorganized: Orientation type and Angle convention moved next to the orientation fields they control, Roll grouped with Pitch/Yaw, Frame/Time kept as a separate, later group.\r\n- Removed the redundant instructional text shown after picking a CSV file.\r\n- Removed the \"experimental\" plugin flag.\r\n\r\n### Fixed\r\n- **Preview Trajectory no longer touches the focus point.** It used to silently auto-center (and could reset a value you'd just typed in) the first time it ran each session; it now only reads whatever focus is already set.\r\n- DEM terrain now actually renders in Preview Trajectory / Preview Camera Feed \u2014 previously the 3D view always forced terrain rendering off, a leftover from before DEM support existed.\r\n- Several places that silently swallowed exceptions instead of logging them (flagged by the QGIS Plugin Repository's security scanner) now log properly.\r\n\r\n## v0.1 \u2014 initial release\r\n- First public release: parametric camera paths (Helix, Lissajous, Torus Knot, Trefoil Knot, Fly Through) that fly around point cloud data.\r\n- Live, in-3D-view preview before committing to a full render.\r\n- Video export via `ffmpeg`.\r\n- Trajectory import/export as JSON or CSV, so a path can be reused or edited outside the plugin.\r\n- Auto-fit the curve to a point cloud's extent, or set it by hand.\r\n- Rotation X/Y/Z controls.\r\n- Works without an open 3D view \u2014 preview and path visualization fall back to a headless coordinate conversion instead of forcing one open.", "external_deps": null, "download_url": "https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/QuickMapCine/version/0.2/download/"}
