To create a Unity virtual camera, you programmatically instantiate a VCam and assign its Follow and LookAt targets to specific game objects. This configures the camera's basic tracking behavior within your scene hierarchy.

Configuring dolly and freelook rigs involves assigning spline dollies and setting up orbital rigs on a Cinemachine virtual camera. This automates complex camera movements and allows continuous tracking around target objects.

Yes, the Cinemachine workflow supports both 2.x and 3.x APIs. It specifically handles compatibility between the two versions, allowing you to automate pipelines and generate impulse events across different Editor environments.

Modifying lens settings and pipeline components involves adjusting the Body, Aim, and Noise parameters on a Cinemachine virtual camera. This allows you to fine-tune field of view and apply procedural noise for cinematic effects.

The best way to automate a cinematic camera rig is to programmatically create a sequence of virtual cameras, apply a dolly spline, and tweak lens settings. This produces consistent cutscene shots across Cinemachine versions.

A State Driven camera switches virtual cameras based on game state transitions, while a Mixing camera blends multiple rigs simultaneously. Choosing between them depends on whether your scene requires discrete state cuts or continuous blended motion.
