Switch Cameras with different buttons

Beginners

Hello everyone
I have this idea for my A/V performance to switch my camera view immedietlty by buttons

Here I have 3 button toggle downs on midi or 3 keyboardIn Chops

what I want is merge this 3 chops channels to one OP(null_cam) with one channel to do this :

when I press key 1 on my keyboard the chop null_cam channel be 1
pressing key 2 the chop null_cam be 2

key 3 —> 3

…

in render Top on camera parameter I want to write some script like this maybe??? =‘cam’ + op(‘nul_cam’)[‘chan1’]

I don’ know how to merge the channels , I thought about logic chops but it didn’t help!!

Any idea how can I merge the buttons to one channel?

You can approach this a number of different ways -

Scripting

You can change the path to your camera by changing the camera par with a chop execute script - when you click your button it would swap the path with a bit of python.

CamerBlend COMP

The camera blend COMP can be used to blend between different cameras smoothly, or with hard cuts. That approach could be accomplished with just ops.

Thank you so much cameraBlend was a great solution for my project. and I should work more on my python to script out what I want to do in this situation!
