    Hey guys,

    I have kind of an urgent question here. I built a graphical timeline with some 3D ribbons and video in expression. I created a perspective camera and animated it moving from one enent to another. However, when I play this out from the seqencer, it only plays from the front camera. How do I change this to my perspective camera I created

    In Layout GUI go to Object Manager, find your camera, right-click and choose[I] PerspCamera[/I] -->[I] Set As Active[/I].

    Also, as a variant, you can select your camera, go to Object Inspector and on Camera tab in Flags area check as [I]Active[/I].

    Is it possible to script a camera change?

    [I]Edit[/I]: See Brian Ford's answer below.

    Besides, you can script Scene Director's state and jump on timeline to different moments where your camera has different position. Also you can animate your camera so that it jumps to another position.

    Moreover, you can script a camera's position directly.

    The xpScene object has a .SetActiveCamera function which can be used to change the active camera from a script.
