You can add as many cameras to a scene as you like, and you can view and render your scene from any camera. There are two ways to add cameras to a scene: through the Cameras tab in a Reaction node or through the Tools tab.

Once you've added cameras, you can indicate which camera(s) to use as the render, or active, camera(s). You can designate any number of cameras as active. Active cameras contribute to the composition's output, and is indicated by the white square under the “A” (active) column of the Cameras tab. You can also set the visibility of each camera.

To add a camera from the Cameras tab:

1. In the Schematic view, select the Reaction node.
2. Select the Cameras tab.
3. At the bottom of the Cameras list, click Add.

   A camera is added to the Cameras list.

To add a camera from the Tools tab:

1. In the Schematic view, display the Group Schematic by double-clicking the Reaction node or right-clicking the Reaction node and selecting Edit Group.
2. From the Tools tab, select Camera from the Reaction folder and drag it to the Group Schematic.

   A camera is added to the Group Schematic and the Cameras list.

   NoteIn the Group Schematic, you can parent a camera to an axis, animate its properties using keyframes or expressions, as well as apply tracking and stabilization.

To set the render camera(s):

1. In the Schematic view, select the Reaction node.
2. Select the Cameras tab.
3. From the Cameras list, click the white square under the A (active) column beside the camera(s) you want to designate as the render camera(s).

To set the visibility of a camera:
