Thanks for the feedback — glad you're enjoying it!
1) The sample-video look vs. Front chance
Front chance is a bias, not a mode: each new camera position has that percentage chance of being placed straight in front of the character. At 100% every position is a front shot, so the angle stops moving around the subject — which is exactly why it looks like a fixed camera with a bit of shake. Keep it around 20–35% and the camera orbits properly. If the shake itself bothers you, nudge Follow smoothing (s) and Focus smoothing (s) up a little (try 0.3–0.5): the camera follows the focus point continuously, so an animating character drags it around with them.
2) Hotkeys
I deliberately didn't build any in. Capturing keyboard input inside a plugin is the fastest way to conflict with other plugins and with VaM's own navigation, so I'd rather keep maximum compatibility and leave the keyboard to a dedicated key-binding plugin. My recommendation is JaxZoa's SimpleKeybindActions (AcidBubbles' Keybindings works too) — all 10 actions of this plugin are already exposed through VaM's bindings list, so they should appear there as bindable commands:
Start directing · Stop directing · Toggle directing · Next position · Previous position · Next subject · Next camera mode · Restart · Enable all subjects · Disable all subjects
Toggle directing on a single key is the one that saves the most clicking — no more going back into the panel after every edit.
3) Presets
Save/load presets, plus a set of built-in presets, are on the list — they're coming in the next update together with a few other improvements. Until then, your settings are stored in the scene itself, so saving the scene is the current way to keep a setup.
Thanks again for the detailed report — and if anything else feels off, "Copy status" together with "Print diagnostics" gives me everything I need to dig in.
