Getting scene-relative Cinemachine vcams to follow one player between scenes

I'm currently creating a 2D RPG and have a camera following the player, who is not destroyed between scenes. However, the pre-existing vcam isn't deleting itself upon transferring to a specific scene. i want the vcam in the next scene to delete itself when the player's vcam enters, but I want it so that I can play any scene and achieve the same results.

Camera Controller Script, attached to the Main Camera:

Code (CSharp):

1. /
2.  
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System.Collections.Generic;
5. using UnityEngine;
6. using Cinemachine;
7. using System.Collections.Specialized;
8. using System.Security.Cryptography;
9.  
10. public class CameraController : PlayerController
11. {
12.  
13.     //public CinemachineVirtualCamera vcam;
14.     public PlayerController player;
15.     static CameraController MainCamera;
16.  
17.     void Awake()
18.     {
19.         //vcam = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
20.         DontDestroyOnLoad(GameObject.Find("CM vcam1"));
21.      
22.     }
23.  
24.     // Start is called before the first frame update
25.     void Start ()
26.     {
27.         /*camPos.Set(playerPos.position.x, playerPos.position.y, 0f);
28.         vcam.Follow.transform.position = camPos; */
29.  
30.         //we want to be a singleton. this means that there should only ever be one player instance at any given time.  
31.  
32.         if (MainCamera != null)
33.         {
34.             //another program is the singleton
35.             //so destroy this one
36.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Pre-Existing Camera was destroyed");
37.             Destroy(vcam);
38.             Destroy(this.gameObject);
39.             return;
40.         }
41.  
42.         //if the script comes here, this is the singleton
43.         MainCamera = this;
44.         GameObject.DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject); //become immortal (this.gameObject does nothing different from gameObject)
45.  
46.  
47.         setCamFollow();
48.     }
49. }

I am having the exact same issue, trying to do the same thing. When I figure it out, I'll post my solution.
