3. Click the Camera pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the canvas, then choose a

The view in the canvas updates to show the camera view you chose. You can choose

Cameras and views in Motion.
You can create cameras to look at your scene from different points of view. You can place
cameras, animate them, and apply behaviors to them. Creating multiple cameras lets you
make different cameras active at different times, allowing you to “cut to” different views
over the course of the project.
