Technically, yes, there is. Go into the demo and edit the camera location.
This is not for the faint of heart, nor is it for the technologically challenged.

That's still not free camera in the literal sense of the word, though. Free camera would be a camera you can control in real time as the demo is playing, which I don't think demo editing can achieve. You can change the camera position and orientation independent of the character, but that's still a set camera path.

I'm not against it in the least, but (a) the demorecord feature isn't really *supported,* and (b) the only argument I can think of *against* this is that it might break or otherwise cause problems with cut scenes.
Frankly, I'd like to see more tools in general given for the folks who like to play around with demos. But I'm not holding my breath.
I wish demo recording were more supported. I remember having TONS of fun recording some of my weirder stunts in Carmageddon and generally having a blast rewatching old races in racing games. The thing is that when you're playing, your camera is locked to your character and your focus is on what you're doing. Running a mission as a player gives you tunnel vision, more or less. Pulling back and actually watching the events you recorded and possibly having a look at what other people were doing is a whole different kind of fun all its own.

was wondering, is there such thing as Free Form Camera Controls during Demo Playing? would like to suggest this additional feature which makes it easier for us to make content like comics and videos.
