Filmmaker Menu

The freecam detaches the camera from your character so you can fly it anywhere on the map. Your character stays where it was. The Filmmaker menu holds the tools for setting up cinematic shots with it.

Freecam

Press F3 to start or stop the freecam, or use the Freecam checkbox at the top of the Filmmaker menu. There is no distance limit and the map loads around the camera.

Hold F3 for half a second to stop the freecam and stay where the camera is. Your character is put on the ground below the camera instead of going back. A vehicle you left behind is not brought along.

Vehicles cannot be spawned while the freecam is on.

While the freecam is on, your character is invisible and travels with the camera, because OneSync only shows players the world around their own character. Other players do not see you. When you stop, your character is put back where you left it, back in its vehicle seat if it was in one. The doors of that vehicle are locked until you are back.

Coming back from more than 300 m away fades the screen out and in while the area loads. Player blips and overhead names hide somebody in the freecam the same way they hide somebody in noclip.

The freecam and noclip cannot be on at the same time. Starting one stops the other.

Keys

The default keys follow the Rockstar Editor. Every one of them is a normal FiveM key binding, so players can change them under Settings, Key Bindings, FiveM in the pause menu.

Filmmaker menu

Submenu	What is in it
Camera	Speed, look sensitivity, smoothing, invert look, zoom, roll and the button hints.
Effects	Hide HUD, letterbox bars, motion blur and camera shake.
Depth Of Field	Blur in front of and behind a focus point. Focus on a set distance or on the locked target. Aperture sets how thin the sharp zone is, higher means more blur on both sides.
Target Lock	Aim at or follow a player, ped, vehicle or object.
Saved Shots	Save the camera position, angle, zoom and focus, and jump back to it later.
Camera Path	Keyframes the camera glides between, with playback controls and saved paths.

Target lock

Option	What it does
Look At Target	The camera keeps pointing at the target while you fly around. The aim offsets move that point.
Follow Target	The camera rides along with the target at the distance it had when you turned this on.
Follow Mode	Full turns with the target in every direction. Heading Only only turns left and right with it. Position Only never turns.

The lock lets go on its own when the target disappears.

Camera paths

A path is a list of keyframes. Each keyframe stores where the camera is, where it looks, the roll, the zoom and the focus distance.

Keyframe setting	What it does
Time To Next Keyframe	How long the camera takes to reach the next keyframe.
Blend To Next	Cut holds the keyframe and then jumps. Linear moves in a straight line. Smooth curves through the keyframes around it.
Easing	Ease In starts slow, Ease Out ends slow, or both.

Playback setting	What it does
Loop	Once stops at the end, Loop starts over, Ping Pong plays back and forth, Circuit flies on from the last keyframe back to the first, using the last keyframe’s settings.
Playback Speed	From 0.25x to 4x.
Start Delay	Waits on the first keyframe before moving.
Hide HUD / Letterbox While Playing	Only while the path plays.

Path option	What it does
Go To Keyframe	Moves the freecam to a keyframe so you fly on from there. Left and right step to the previous and next one, wrapping around at the ends.
Go To First / Last Keyframe	Moves the freecam to the first or last keyframe.
Stay At The End	On by default. When a path finishes, the freecam stays where it ended and you fly on from there. Turned off, it goes back to where you were before playing.

A path recorded while Follow Target is on is stored relative to the target. It plays back around whatever target is locked when you play it, so the same shot works on any car or player.

A path keeps its changes automatically once it has a name. Saved shots and saved paths are stored on the player’s own PC, the same as their other saved data.
