Character Shot is designed for making forum signatures and other edits easier. It puts your character on a black screen. You can choose camera and even animations to play. This is a no frills addon. Nothing fancy, just bare bones access to this stuff.

UI

Three on screen buttons auto fade when cursor not over them.
Click tools button to show Tool Box.
Can set to a creature ID number
Animation speed timer great for accurate shots
Button to play talk sequence.
Pause Button (resets to frame 0 of animation)
Slider for frame scrubbing
ANimation list / browser. Click an animation to play it.

Limitations

You can not completely control the camera. The furthest zoom out on Paperdoll camera is as far as it goes.
Some cameras, the Item preview ones, ONLY WORK ON HUMANS.
I do not know what animations are what. you just have to go through the numbers. The good thing is there's nothing over 9000.

Using Character Shot

Type /shot in the chat box.
Controls have labels and tooltips. There is a maximize button, and the window is resizeable.
When editing the images, use a magic wand with 0 tolerance on the black. it will trim out without taking other blacks.
