Problem with camera

Hi there,

I have a camera following the player with lerp. I would like the camera to be ahead of the player when running though instead of behind so that you can see what's ahead of you. I mean, I want the player to be on the left side when running to the right side and vice versa. I can achieve this but it looks terrible, it's not smooth at all. Any suggestions?

Here's a video of what it looks like now.

Thanks in advance,

Tommy

HolidayExplanation - Thank you for trying to help me out, I really appreciate it. I have already tried this though. It works when the player is moving to the right but when the player is then moving to the left, the camera is even further behind.

HolidayExplanation - A thousand thanks again. I had already tried something similar before and I don't really like the results. I don't want the camera to go back to the middle when the player stops but the biggest problem is that it is a little "jumpy". See the video below if you don't understand what I mean.
