    So I've watched a lot of demos about cinemachine, but I can't figure out how to do this.
    I animated a virtual camera to to make a cutscene when the game starts, but I don't know how to start playing after it plays.
    Also, my first person controller camera ends up with weird rotations

    I haven't, but I will definitely look into that. Thanks.
    I think I still don't really grasp the concept of the timeline. Can I setup my whole game in one timeline with every cutscene when I want it?
    i.e. I'm making a little 3d first person game, and basically I want to be able to create cutscenes from the perspective of the player, is this how should I do it?

    I would make separate timelines for each cutscene, and then launch them from code

    Each timeline for each virtual camera with the animations to make the cutscene, right?
    Sorry if these are really basic questions, I appreciate you helping me out, thank you

    Code (CSharp):
    1. For each cutscene
    2. {
    3.     make a timeline;
    4.     include in the timeline
    5.     {
    6.         tracks for animating all the stuff
    7.         a cinemachine track for the vcams that will capture the action.  That track will contain
    8.         {
    9.             one clip for each vcam that will be activated during the timeline.  Blend the clips to blend between vcams
    10.         }
    11.     }
    12. }
