VaM 1.x Camera roll in desktop mode

Threads regarding the original VaM 1.x

I don't think there is.
If you want to do shots/virtual photography, use the window camera to do that.

Studio Maestro can help if you do VP.
If it's not for VP, tell me what you wanna achieve : )
I'm looking for a way to tilt the screen and make a screenshot with one click, convenient preview of what I'm capturing and no flash effect.

I'm just using an external program to capture the screen, it's much faster than some plugings I came across and it gets rid of the flash. But I can't roll the camera in desktop mode.

I can do this in vr, but I have to use the VAM's built in screenshot function - the preview there is very small and there's the annoying flash every time. Window camera is more cumbersome as you can't use it as a...

I can do this in vr, but I have to use the VAM's built in screenshot function - the preview there is very small and there's the annoying flash every time. Window camera is more cumbersome as you can't use it as a viewport when you position it, instead you set it up as a separate object.

Studio Maestro seems to work, though still a bit clunky, as you have to manually set up everything and align the camera with the UI buttons, instead of just positioning the viewport with the mouse.

EDIT: there's a way you can do it with the window camera, by aligning it approximately and then using the vr controller to adjust the camera object while looking at the monitor. So I guess that's the solution here.

Also, if there's a way to just enlarge the screenshot preview in VR mode and get rid of the flash, please let me know. Then all this stuff above will be unnecessary.

The idea with Maestro is not to use the UI first, but move the cam with either VR or mouse, then do the final "framing polish" with the UI.

With Maestro active, look for the atom with "SuperShot" in the prefix. Look in the plugin, uncheck "flash". This might be an interesting update to do in Maestro.
But to note, the flash does nothing, it's just a "user feedback" to tell you the shot has just been saved.

Which preview are you talking about?
