    Hello

    I am trying to achieve same camera settings as in the video I am attaching below

    Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jtb3D9qzOE3NYC6DuWkDCXflPWYT-nuz/view?usp=drivesdk

    My project have similar concept as in the video, you go up on tapping and thus I want to achieve the same camera settings

    As you can see, when I tap and cube goes up the camera starts moving only after cube have reaches a certain position, and after going up a bit the camera locks and doesn't allow to go down anymore. I want to have same as this, go up and camera moves after a certain position and after a certain distance it locks. I am using cinemachine. If there's any way to do it without script or I have to code. Please help
    Thanks

    I don't think you will be able to do this without some simple scripting. I would make an invisible GameObject which will serve as the camera's Follow target. Attach a custom script to it that will move it upwards to follow the player if and only if the player is higher than it.

    Then make a CM 2D camera (Framing Transposer in Body section) that uses the invisible object as a Follow Target.

    Maybe it's time to learn some Unity scripting. This is not Cinemachine-specific, just a basic script to make a game object position itself in relation to another.

    Here are some learning resources: https://learn.unity.com/search?k=["q:Scripting"]
