Help with Cameras

[lebuildman 79]

I'm animating a kind of Interview Program.

I have something like 8 cameras but How I select what camera will be the Actual?

Actually, only one will get rendered, to make one camera do the function of the other seven, just change the transition of the camera keyframe to instant, and it'll be just like T.V.

Ughhh.... So I need to have 8 Keyframes Premades?

No. Just put your camera in one place and then when you want to do the Camera change effect, just move it to another place, but using the "Instant" transition

If you already have all camereas in place and don't feel like reposition everytime to do what Ian said above, you can do a feature that david added for this kind of purpose.

Select the camerea, and it'll have "Visible" in it.

Here's an image to show you an example.
(Although the keyframe is grass, it still applies the same to cameras)

 

The "Active" camerea is the dark black one, while the inactive ones have "Visible" deselected. You can tell it's inactive by looking at in the scene. It's faded.

 

So simply, make all 8 cameras have "Visible" deselected.
Then whatever camera you want on, have a keyframe with 'Visible' checked.

When you want to switch cameras, simply make the 'visible' camera inactive by unchecking visible in it, and the new camera you want to be active, visible.

It's a feature david added so you wouldn't need to do the above and can add plenty of cams.

I thought that this doesn't work with cams. I tested with lights and the "Visible" don't works.
