playback stops when you’re changing cams. I’m the dev op ProSequencer and it did require some tricks to make switching while playing work. (PS is opensouce, just unzip the mzp and find the ‘timeChange’ function. it’s some magic combination of stop/redraw/setcam/start animimation.) And in your function you are setting the cam @ every timechange, you might want to check it the viewport already had the right cam before switching. (that’s the reason why you can’t play animation, it’s at every timechange due to cam switch)
But by the looks of it you could just use ProSequencer to do it all

thanks, I’ll check it out.
I’ve never used proSequencer myself, so the only question i have is whether proSequencer allow multiple ranges on single track for a particular cam? Like in AE
In a way, you can assign the same camera to multiple tracks. That way you can have multiple ranges of the same cam.
