Camera Layers and Animated Camera Switching

After effects have multiple cameras and i think moho should as well

it would be cool to have a new layer called "Camera" where you could insert it from the layers panel.
Image Image
then we could have a bounding box(like the "transform layer" tool) when in 3d mode
Image
if there are multiple cameras layers in the layers panel, then there would be an option in the settings(or rightclicking the layer to open the popup menu) to set the current camera to that layer
Image

in 3d mode, kinda like how you see the camera arrow, the active on will be it's default color(lavender) and the inactive ones would be grey.
Image
There should also be a dropdown setting in a tool
Image
switching the current camera would show up in the timeline(the icon design is intentional)

I've developed something similar, but I haven't had time to get it ready for public release.
I use 3D objects for each camera, and then the Moho camera arrow shows the active camera. You control the cameras using basic layer transform controls.

Right now, you have to be on the camera layer to use it, but I plan to make it usable from any layer, like the native camera tools.
Hopefully I find the time to finish this for public release.
