Tutorials and questions on making Basic Videos and Movies

I have a question regarding how to make panning shots in CloD. What's the best way to do this? I know we can use the F3 fly by to do a pan track of the active aircraft, or even use a padlock to track another object, but what if you're making an independant pan shot? What's the best (smoothest, easiest to setup) way you've found to do it?

I have Track IR and I think the best way I can do it is to tweak the sensitivity settings and range of movement settings until my 'camera' is forced along a certain path and then all I need to worry about is the smooth and continuous movement.

Just curious if people have other techniques.
