As well as a slight improvement in the work of the "Global Reset" and "Local Reset" buttons.

This option allows adds animation key to "XOrb", "ZOrb", "Zoom", "Roll",
"GPos" and "GRot" param at the current time slider position.
"Add New Keys" option allows creating start animation keys
on the fly at the current time slider position, thus minimizing
a need for editing animation keys in the Track View Editor.

v2.8
-- "Pick Align" Tool
Aligns the camera rig position to the point of mouse click in the viewport. With the active snapping mode on vertices, edges and faces, you can align the camera rig to the specified area of geometry. Also very useful for huge scene when you need move camera to extremely big distance.
-- "Look Align" Tool
Rotates the camera look in the direction of the specified object. Allows you to make animation with tracking an object almost like a target camera.
Note: If you already have a complex animation with turns, then this option may not work correctly!
-- Now "Cam Align" presets tool also supported alignment with another Rapid camera

CAUTION!!!

1) NEVER duplicate the "Rapid Camera" with 3ds max standard clone tool!
If you want to create a new "Rapid Camera" with the same animation just run "Rapid Camera" script, create new "Rapid Camera" rig and use "Copy, Paste" animation key frame with "Add Copy Paste Keys" option.

2) NEVER rename the "Rapid Camera" and other rig nodes.

3) ALWAYS delete the "Rapid Camera" with "Delete This Rig" button
