  • @PhilvanKleur It was a product video from a video equipment company. I've updated the link with one that is still available, and clarified the purpose of the link in my answer.

It is known as panning, from the word "panoramic" - googling will throw up many tutorials on this.

  • I don't think that is what I mean. I mean when the camera circles around an object. Oct 29, 2012 at 18:12
