Just use the arrow keys and numpad in Film Viewer to move and rotate your camera.

Are you using the film viewer?
If you want an external view, use the film viewer. Open your film with the film viewer and at the top left where you see default view, there are other views you can use. Choose external to get an external view.

To take a screenshot you have to hit the "Prnt Scrn" button, then open up Microsoft Paint or your choice of photo editor and paste the picture into it. Then save it.

One thing I do if I'm going to take screenshots from Film Viewer is hop into the game and max out the graphics real quick. The frame rate is terrible while I run the film, but when I stop it and snap a pic I get all the eye-candy.

this and also click the Full Screen view..... so it gets rid of the distance/Alt counter list on the right and all the control buttons & camera angle bars...... then take the picture via the

Print
screen
-------
SysRq

button on the keyboard........ then hit the Esc key to take you back to the film viewer with controls showing.......... hit the pasue film , then minimize and open MSpaint ( or what ever graphics program you like ) and right click and paste........

Also- ??? doesn't the Alt-S  screenshot feature that we have "ingame" also work in the film viewer as well?
