Add convenience functions for common animation workflows #220

Description

@GenevieveBuckley

It's been suggested a few times that it would be nice to have some pre-baked animations for common situations.
This comment summarizes the idea well:

... making some standard "pre-recorded" "Movie" instances that you could then apply regardless of your data if you wanted to automate and standardize movie making - like a "zoom in" / "zoom out", or "loop through sliders once", or "full 3D rotation".

Pre-baked workflows

  • 360 degree rotation of a 3D volume (may need to specify which axis is rotated?)
  • loop through sliders (may need to specify which axis is looped through?)
  • zoom in / zoom out (imo this one seems simple enough that the existing tools might be sufficient on their own)

Implementation

  • Example scripts demonstrating these common situations (easy)
  • GUI button to insert the pre-baked workflows into a longer movies. Being able to mix and match these building blocks with other keyframes set interactively would be very useful (could be difficult to implement)
