Hello,

I have many cameras being triggered at specific keyframes with a switch, but when I want to preview my animation in the flipbook, it only shows the first one. I tried different name pattern in the parameter camera of the Karma render settings but no success.

Does anyone know?

Thanks a lot

I think you'll need all of those different cameras have the same name, and set that as the camera to flipbook (i.e. all of them are /cameras/camera1 for example.
I'm o.d.d.

Thanks for your answer @goldleaf but I can't rename my cameras with the same name, Houdini won't let me, or I am misunderstanding something...

He is referring to the "primitive path" in the usd camera. At default, the path is set to "cameras/$OS". $OS is taking on the node name, but you are able to rename it to shared path so that the camera will be overwritten by the current camera node.
