## What it is
Phantom Camera is a Godot 4 addon/plugin that simplifies common Camera2D and Camera3D behaviors, heavily inspired by Unity's Cinemachine. It provides nodes for following targets, looking at nodes, priority-based camera switching, and tweened transitions between camera positions.

## Use cases
- smoothly follow a player character with a camera in Godot
- switch between multiple camera angles with priority in a game
- create cinematic camera transitions in Godot 4
- keep multiple targets in view with a dynamic camera
- add damped camera movement to a 2D or 3D Godot game
- find a Cinemachine alternative for Godot

## When to choose
- you're building a Godot 4 game and want out-of-the-box camera behaviors like follow, look-at, and framing
- you want Cinemachine-style camera logic without writing it yourself
- you need both 2D and 3D camera support with tweened transitions

## When to avoid
- you're using Godot 3, which is not supported
- you need a fully stable API - the addon is still in early stages and features may break or change
- you need camera features not yet on the addon's roadmap
