Dear All,  
is it possible to export the camera animation path into a file, and later import this and apply the animation path to another visualization? If not, could that maybe a feature? Or, if that’s too big, ParaView allows to copy properties, for instance as in the Transform Filter. Maybe something similar could be done for the camera key frames?  
Other than that, I really like that ParaView performs an ease out/in for the first/last keyframe, and simply goes over all the middle key frames. That gives really great results.  
Thanks and Cheers,  
Niklas

It is not possible to import/export animation path yet. I would be a nice feature though.

A work around would be to generate it using Python.
