How do I change scenes with the camera??
I know how to move with the camera but I can't change scene. I create multiple cameras. For example, I have camera1 on Louis when he says hello, then camera2 on the other survivors when they respond. However, when I press play, it stays on camera1 throughout the who video. I want to keep changing camera after one speaks but it stays on one camera when I play. Please help!? There are tutorial videos that either make no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense and one that is too soft to understand what's going on and subtitles are auto-generated so it doesn't capture exactly what the person is saying. Please help, I am new to this.

Sorry but that makes no sense.

I'm having the same issue, and I'm not being lazy either. I just CAN'T FIND ANYTHING on the subject!
Same.

@Daviddv0601, there's a comical irony to all this in that the same people calling you lazy, are the ones that can't just to explain what you need to do...
They say "Don't be lazy, Watch the Tutorials," but are themselves too lazy to tell you in laymens terms what you need to do..

I mean, for f*** sake, The Custy couldn't even be bothered to link the video that has the information you ACTUALLY NEEDED... lol


We watched the tutorials, and they kinda tell you how to do it in video 02, but they they don't really explain how to do it in video 02... the narrator is recording from the perspective of the scout all the time, so by the time he gets to setting up and recording via a static camera, its all very convoluted and buried under the gamepaly recording bulls***..

While in Clip Editor you need to drag the playhead to the scene where you want change the camera and press "b" to blade and create two shots. In shot2 you need to select it and when it is yellow it means that you slected it. Then change your camera to camera2 and place it in the place where you want record.

If you're going to try to be clever, learn how to use the word Irony... :)

I was trying that. the whole project stopped working though. it wouldn't let me pose the models anymore, and anytime i clicked record, it would put me in game made 100 miles away..

Can you record a video of how you're doing it? I'm not sure how the "100 miles away" thing might have happened, but if you can't animate animation sets anymore after creating a new shot, that's usually because you have the wrong shot selected. If you're in motion/graph editor and the playhead is in a darker grey area, you're looking at the wrong shot.

That's not at all necessary. Since camera1 in shot 1 is separate from camera1 in shot 2 and so on, you can simpy use each shot's respective camera1 instead of needlessly creating duplicate cameras.
