    hi everybody.
    My camera which is strapped to the Dolly of the starts immediately after starting. I need to start a certain path for example from 10 seconds.

    Can you rephrase your question? I'm having trouble understanding what you're asking.

    Also: because there are many different applications and Cinemachine can be used in many ways, a little context about your project would be helpful.

    I need to run the camera on the track at a certain time. (Dolly cart with virtual camera and Dolly track)

    in other words, the camera should not start moving when the "play"mode is enabled.

    Set the speed in the dolly cart initially to 0. When it's time to move, set the speed to non-zero.

    You can add a custom script to do this, or animate the speed in Timeline. Do you have a timeline running in this context?
