Camera Switching (Method 1) - Layer Visibility

Introduction · Tutorial · Series: Tips and tricks · 4 min 17 sec · Recorded on Composer R3 2026

Overview

Every live production has to cut from one camera to another, and the easiest way in Composer is toggling layer visibility. Here, each camera lives in its own scene with its graphics, and a program scene holds them both. We build one Connector per camera, then trigger the switch from outside Composer. This video is part of a short series on camera switching. If you haven't used Connectors before, be sure to watch the Connectors Introduction video first to learn how to set them up.
