Nah I just use Onion Skinning to re-align the camera..
Monkeyjam doesn't have an onionskinning feature unfortunatly, so yes Stan, I know your pain.
I hate it. 
Sometimes, I fix it by turning it into a moving camera shot, or continue filming then in editing have the shot switch to something else in editing.
EDIT: BTW, Stan, what is it you're making?

I delete some of my most smoothest animation like, two weeks ago
Why do people still use MonkeyJam?
I see no possible reason for it as opposed to HeliumFrog..
don't you just hate it when you've captured 50+ frames and you bump the camera?
I hate that, when my tripod falls over, too. 
I find it more intuitive...
...and HeliumFrog crashes my machine.

MonkeyJam doesn't screw with your quality at all. HF does a bit. At least in my experience.
Well, I don't use a capture program.
So I don't have to worry. 
Oh, what do you use?
My camera doesn't work with frame-capture so I was wondering if you had any suggestions to get around...
I use a camera. I put it on me set, and I animate by taking some pictures with my camera.
That leads to many problems, but I've learned to get around them.
Let me tell you, you CAN animate with regular cameras, you can do it without remote capture. Just need to be careful.
That's why I prefer to use a frame capture program such as MonkeyJam, but it really depends on whatever is best for you.

Me too. Most of the time it happens, at least.
For me, having to repeatedly shoot a 15 seconds dolly shot because you messed something up - you know, just the little something in the background that can ruin a whole shot. It was a pain in the ass to capture that beast on film. But the finished production felt good as always.
Another very annoying thing to happen: filming an entire take and then realising your protagonist is slightly out-of-focus.
Cheers!

Because Onion Skinning is annoying.
