I was working with a scene that had A LOT of cameras, multiple cameras per character. Jumping between all of them while I worked was a annoying so I wrote a quick script\/tool that helped me handle dealing with all that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Switch To Camera Tool” is a very simple script. It lists all cameras within your scene, the list can be filtered by name or you can it can omit the orthographic camera by a check of a box. As the default orthographic cameras can already be easily switched to via dedicated short cut keys I thought a omission feature would be nice.

The UI has check boxes that allow you to easily display elements to each camera (time code, safe frames, grid, etc.). The tool will remember which display elements you have set up for each camera and if you need to add or remove a camera to your scene there is a “Refresh Camera List”. <\/p>\n\n\n
