    In the Scene view window top left when I'm trying to drag the camera on the red or green or blue I see it's changing the Position values in the Inspector and I see the camera moving but the view is not changing. The camera view in the scene and in the game view window stay still.

    In the Inspector in the Body part I can change the Camera Distance and Screen X and Screen Y values and it will move the camera but all other parameters in the body don't make any changes.

    I want to move the camera behind the characters.

    If you have a Framing Transposer, then that sets the vcam position in relation to the follow target according to the placement rules you set. If you want the vcam to be somewhere else, you have to either turn off the procedural placement, or change the rules so that the vcam goes where you want. You can't just drag it because CM cannot infer the placement rules from a manually-set position.

    You won't be able to drag the camera in the scene view because it's locked with the object/sprite that it's following, BUT instead you can change the positions of the VM Cam inside the Inspector;'s cinemachine component:

    Inspector > CinemachineVirtualCamera > Body > Screen X (or Screen Y)

    Adjust the X and Y settings there and it will move the position of the camera.

    You can also adjust the vcam's rotation (in the transform) to change the viewing angle

    Is there a way I can access these values through code?
