# How to Use CamProps
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Select Camera
At the top of the CamKeys panel, choose the source of your transformation matrices:
* Camera vs. Viewport: Use the toggle buttons to switch between using a selected camera and using the viewport’s perspective.
Important: The Baking Function will only work when “Camera” is selected.
 
* Lock/Unlock Camera to View: If you’re using the camera (and not the viewport), you can lock or unlock the camera so that it follows your viewport movement.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Mesh Objects
This section lets you manage which mesh objects will drive the CamProps.
* Adding Mesh Objects: Click the + button to add an object to the tracking list. If the object is rigged, you can optionally select a bone (using the provided dropdown) for more precise control.
* Managing the List: Each object appears in a list where you can enable or disable it individually, move its position in the list, or remove it.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### CamProps Panel
This section is used to manage the CamProps for the selected mesh object.
* Adding a CamProp: Right-click almost any Blender property and choose "Add to CamProps" to create a CamProp that changes based on camera angle.
* Capture a New Angle for the CamProp: Click the 📷 button at right to update the angle stored in the CamKey.
* Select Angle Falloff for CamProp: Set how many degrees away your CamProp starts blending to other values. Add as many interpolation stops like this as you want.
* Distance only: Enable camprops to react to camera distance only. Allows for things like outline width adjustment over distance:
