    Hi,

    I am making a short cutscene, and I am using cinemachine and timeline tools.
    It's a little annoying that the virtual camera doesn't update position according to follow object even if I played the timeline. I have to press the unity's play button first to preview results.
    Is there a workaround for this?

    Thank you for advance.

    Hi,

    They should all update in edit mode.
    Please show us your setup: Hierarchy, Timeline, Virtual Camera that does not update, and your Main Camera.

    You can try using the Solo button to edit vcams that are not currently active.

    Hi,

    Thank you for getting back to me.

    I am using Unity 2020.3.1f1. Clicking solo solves the problem temporarily and moves the camera to the correct position. However adjusting the look at target or follow target doesn't update the camera.
    The problem happens whether I am using timeline or not.
    I am using legacy standard renderer. I will try a new project with HDRP and see how it goes.

    Thank you for advance.

    This should not be the case. It should update correctly in edit mode. You can send me a repro project, and I'll have a look.
