There's a handy new option in the HUD that makes it easy to switch cameras and takes. To get there, just choose the options menu and choose Configure View or just hit Shift V. And in the HUD tab in of the viewport options you want to go ahead and activate both the camera option as well as the current take option. And you'll see that now here on the top of my HUD you I have an indicator that tells me what camera and what take is currently active. Well to change that, all you have to do is click, and I can easily change to the close up camera, or the head on camera. And in the same way, I can go ahead and choose one of these other takes, like maybe the Long Trails take, or even the MatB take. It's one of those small little changes that can actually dramatically speed up your work flow.
