Daily Blender Secrets - Switching between different cameras

The more complex part is changing the active camera during an animation: For that you need to add a marker in the timeline, then bind a camera to it so it switches past that frame.

And you can click on the green camera icon next to the camera in the Outliner

Grant abbit gave a shout out to you, cg man!

if you dont have a camera selected and you are in the viewport you can press ctrl+alt+0 to make your current view the active camera view.

shift+~ allows to use game keys (a/wsx/d and q/e) to navigate with active camera without using checkboxes.
Arrow keys work too.
Mouse allows rotating (just move it)
You can use shift to move faster and alt to move slower.
To apply new camera position click left mouse key or press Enter.
To escape camera movement and roll back prev position press Escape or right mouse click.

PS. Scroll click moves you close to the clicked object.
Scrolling will change default spead (without shift or alt).
G key enables gravity.

First of all I love all of these Blender secrets, now on a different subject I'm stuck with Blender 2.79 which is all my IMac can handle. My problem is I love my Mac but, I think I'll have to make the switch to PC (cough, cough...lol). Honestly I want to get much better with Blender and since the interface changed a little in Blender 2.8 and up and a PC's is different then a Mac why not learn it all at once. So I want something comparable to the new 2020 IMac just looking for a few good ideas.

Thanks for making these videos. Why the same procedure doesn't work with both render engines. What would be the theory behind it? If you input a "Princpled Volume" to the "Volume output" in Cycles all goes black no matter the density. I have been trying to search for an answer for a while.

Hey may I know your gpu (even cycles look fast)
