Creating a keypoint for a Cinematic
A Cinematic is composed of a number of keypoints, which define specific orientations of the camera as the Cinematic progresses. Multiple must be defined. The Cinematic will start at the first keypoint. The camera will then linearly move into the position of the second keypoint, and then the third, until the last keypoint has been reached.
How to create an individual keypoint for a Cinematic:
- Select the (newly created) Cinematic to edit.
- At the bottom of the left panel, click on "Add Keypoint".
- Select the newly created keypoint.
- At the bottom of the right panel, click on "Edit Camera Position".
- Move the camera into the desired position¹. Ensure both the position of the camera and the direction of the camera is as desired.
- At the bottom of the right panel, click on "Store Camera Position".
- At the bottom of the right panel, click on "Stop Editing Camera Position".

Triggering a cinematic
In most use-cases, a Cinematic should be triggered as the result of some occurrence during the session.
There are multiple situations in which a Cinematic can be displayed:
- How to set a Cinematic to play when a Measure is enacted
- How to create an Action to show a Cinematic
- How to set a Cinematic to play at the start of a Level
Notes
- Cinematics, regardless of whether they are triggered during a session or not, can also be started manually from the Editor. This route also includes the option to record the Cinematic as a video.
