    It looks like the camera is just moving at constant speed. What happens if you walk the player backwards off the screen?

    I achieve something similar but without cinemachine. using 2 rigidbody to move player and camera at same speed! but i'm afraid when i start using cinemachine this will generate some bug or problema becouse of the constant speed of the camera using rigidbody or do u think is only need to me deative the speed and let the cinemachine take controll? or the virtual camera of cinemachine override the camera movement?

    Rather than move the Camera with a RigidBody, move a CM Virtual Camera instead. Put "Do Nothing" in the Aim and Body sections, that way CM will not be trying to control the vcam itself. Then when you transition to other vcams there will be no interference or problems. The current active vcam will always drive the real Camera, which should be a separate GameObject in the root. It will transition seamlessly from one vcam to another.
