The script is an extension of → "Camera Operations (Y-Setup)" and works as a batch script instead of a simulation script. The camera positions are cached, translated into animation keys, and added to the → "Curve Editor". The script is for Z-based axis setups. If you have a Z-based axis setup go to → "Animation Keys (Y-Setup)".
