Can you use actions for camera movements?
I have been trying to make actions to set a variety of default camera positions. When I'm in the action timeline, all the camera moves I make just end up in the main timeline with all the movements I make (except for track) being invisible to me until I exit the action.
Just wanted to make sure I'm not doing something wrong, before I give up on automating camera movements.

I don't think you can do that. Definitely not in SBD Actions and I don't think it works in regular actions either.
What you can do is save out camera motion keys and import them to reuse later. Hayasidist wrote a handy script for this and posted a link for it here:

FYI, I haven't tried it with Moho 12. If you get a chance, post your experience in that thread.
You can, of course, just open two project files and copy/paste camera keys across projects. Admittedly that's a little 'clunky' but it works. Hayasidist's camera script streamlines this process.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Greenlaw. Did a quick test in Moho 12.0 and it seemed to work like a charm.

Glad that works for you, and thanks for letting me know it works in 12.

Re: Actions for Camera Movements
Hi -- just noticed this thread -- a word of caution for Moho 12 users -- the camkeys scripts probably won't handle Bezier keyframe types properly.
I'd given up on maintaining these scripts because of the ease of copy/paste keys between documents introduced around V10 - but if they're still useful just shout and I'll put a "12-ise" of them on my to-do list
