For reliable operation of the command, the vector of direction passed to the command must be a valid vector. Also values [0,0,1] and [0,0,-1] cause camera to reset after animation committed. To work around this you can use [0,0.001,0.999] or [0,0.001,-0.999] instead. Reset also doesn't happen if x or y != 0, for example [1,0,1] or [0,1,-1].
