After Effects export: export multiple cameras when using markers

In previous versions, when using markers to switch between cameras,
a single animated camera would be exported.

This would cause motion blur issues when the camera would jump quickly
and unexpectedly between two positions.

Instead, we now export all marker cameras, but restrict their time
range to switch between them.

If a camera is used multiple times through a shot, as many cameras
with the same name will be exported.
