"Part 2:
So think of a visual cut as follows: Camera position 1 (basic shot) switch to camera position 2 (the close up) switch back to camera position 1 (basic shot).

Attach your camera to a peg and collapse that peg. Go to the first frame on that peg & select the transform tool (7). Then use keyboard short cut [ I ] to set a keyframe. That locks down your animation stand dial controls for your basic shot. Now move on the time line to the frame position where you want to return to that basic shot after your close-up and press [ I ] to set another keyframe. This will insure you can jump back to the exact same camera stand dial settings. Next go back on the timeline to the frame just before where you want the cut to the close-up to start and press [ I ] to set a keyframe which marks the end of your first shot, the basic shot. Move to the very next frame which will be your close-up shot. Now go to the Top View panel and with the transform tool (7) still as the selected tool, click and drag the camera peg while watching the camera view window to visually see when you have lined up your desired close-up.When you like the shot that you see, press [ I ] to lock it down with a keyframe.Then move forward on the timeline to the frame just prior to where you are switching back (cutting) to your basic shot and press [ I ] to set a keyframe which marks the end of your close-up shot. Make sure that you have all connecting segments on this peg set as constant segments because you don't want any "tweening". Now you have a basic shot that jump cuts to a close up and then jump cuts back to the basic shot. -JK"
