I want to create random camera movement animation, using CornerPositioner. Can someone help me?

What part isn't working for you? I'm not sure I understand the question.

I want to create two keyframes. The first is on 0 frame and the second on 100 frame. I want to get random values of these keyframes and transpolation between them.

So each time when I play the video I'll get random camera movement.

Hello

If you need the same sequence when you call math.random(), then you must set math.randomseed(same number every time before calling) before calling math.random().

If you want a different sequence of random numbers, then pass math.randomseed(os.time()) before calling math.random() because os.time() will return the time in number of seconds so it will be different every time.
