In don't think the Memorize step is essential, though it is a good idea so that if a Restore function us used, the camera will stay in the correct position relative to the hand, instead of moving back to its default position. In a cr2 the Memorized value for a channel is stored in the "initValue" line, near the top of each channel. I should really have included such initValue lines in the "Stupid-to-Smart.pz2", eg:

        rotateZ zrot
            {
            initValue 21.938900
            keys
                {
                k 0 21.938900
                }
            }
        translateX xtran
            {
            initValue -0.288930
            keys
                {
                k 0 -0.288930

... But I forgot to add them. Anyway it,s a lot of extra work. For your own personal use, you can just Memorize the figure after the pose has been applied. For a commercial product you should probably take the time to add them.
