Anyone know how to view your character cast magic from the front while being in 3rd person?

Hello, its as the title says. Anyone know how? I saw it being done on many skyrim magic casting mod youtube videos.

A simple method is to activate the free camera via MCM / Sexlab setting . Once activated, assign it a Key, in game, activate the Key, move the camera and cast the spells

I did that but do I have to change my casting button also? Since pressing left mouse or right mouse button makes the camera go up or down.

try starting the spell then hitting the console and typing tfc 1. this should pause the game while allowing the free cam.

As I understand it, the movement of the free camera should be the same as the character. Key W-R-A-S-D + zoom. Moving the mouse directs the camera view.
It should also be added, if you use the standard camera, or have specific mods (for example: Customizable Camera, Enanched Camera, 3PCO)
