How do I make my camera controller more "smooth"/less "janky" or make a better one?

Basically the problem is that my camera controller just seems sort of janky. I’m not sure how else to describe it. How do I smooth it out more, or just make a better one?
I’m a noob at this

Code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CameraScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform CenterPoint;
    public Transform mimicPoint;
    public Transform playerBody;
 

    public float mouseSensitivity = 150f;

    float xRotation = 0f;

    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        Cursor.visible = false;
    }
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        transform.LookAt(CenterPoint);

        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

        xRotation -= mouseY;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

        CenterPoint.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);

        mimicPoint.position = new Vector3(CenterPoint.position.x, CenterPoint.position.y, CenterPoint.position.z);
        mimicPoint.eulerAngles = new Vector3(CenterPoint.eulerAngles.x, CenterPoint.eulerAngles.y, CenterPoint.eulerAngles.z);

        playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);

        transform.localPosition = new Vector3(transform.localPosition.x, transform.localPosition.y + Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel")*transform.localPosition.y, transform.localPosition.z);

        //note: transform references the camera object itself
    }
}

You could try and use Cinemachine:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.3/manual/index.html

You can download and install it from the Package Manager :slight_smile:
