# Cut to a new camera on the line

Edit / Transition / Cuts. Checked 2026-11-13.

One take feels like a multi-camera shoot.

- Use when: Interviews and talking heads filmed on one camera.
- Phrase: at 2.6 seconds, on the line that names the second camera, cut to a position 45 degrees to her right at eye height, the bookshelf now behind her

## Watch out

- Let the dialogue direct the cuts: cut on a line or a clear action about every 3 to 4 seconds, and make back-to-back shots different sizes. (practitioner; Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 infinite angles (Rourke Heath))
- In the creator's own demo it took three or four generations per sequence and one kept clip has a gesture that lands late. Keep the filmed take as the master and interleave the new angles. (practitioner; Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 infinite angles (Rourke Heath))
- Describe left and right by landmarks in the room; bare left and right flip. (practitioner; Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 infinite angles (Rourke Heath))
