Multiple takes using different Transform values

Question

Is there a way to do multiple takes with varying transform values?

----------

Here is what I want to do:

1st shot:
A few seconds of a super close up on character so only the top of the head is showing in frame

2nd shot:

Full body shot of character

----------

Here is what I've been trying to do in Character Animator:

-Position character for super close up. Press record. Press stop.

-Re-position character to show full body. Press record. Press stop.

When I replay the recording, the first take is also showing the full body and not the close up that I originally recorded.

----------

I don't understand why repositioning also affects the first take. I'm able to do multiple takes where I record a different head movement and all the takes replay the intended head movement.

Will I just need to record and export each shot? (Record and export super close up. And then record and export full body shot).

You needed to set keyframes for your transform changes. Hitting RECORD doesn't record those changes.

But there is an easier way to do this...

Have you tried using a camera?

Go Scene>New Scene Camera.

That will add a camera to your scene. Then just use the camera settings to position the camera how you want it. Make sure you set keyframes (the little stop watch to the left of the setting - only press it once to start keyframing).

Move a frame foward on your timeline and then set your new settings. It should then look like a cut from a close up to a wide shot.

Hope that helps.
