 The Import tab of the [[Camera]] node allows you to import Nuke or Houdini .chan files, Maya .mov files or FBX files to set camera params. It can import multiple frames from a file for animation.
-The .chan field of view related params have hint text showing how they interpret the file data. For example if you check the '''Import vertical FOV''' radio button then either channel 7 (c7) of a Houdini .chan file or channel 8 (c8) of a Nuke .chan file will be read as a vertical field of view setting.
