Cutscene

Whether it's after a choice, to introduce a scene, or for other reasons, you may want to create a cutscene. Here's everything you need to know.

To access and edit a cutscene, go to the "Cutscenes" section of your scene, then create a new cutscene.

Once created, link the subscenes you want by clicking the gear icon.

TIP

You can link a single animation by shift-clicking the gear icon.

Click on the cutscene to enter the Cutscene Controller. A set of buttons will appear:

Creating a Camera Path with Keyframes

Start by creating a keyframe group, it will be selected by default.
Then, navigate through the cutscene and add keyframes to this group.

Transitions

You might not always want a single path. To create camera transitions, you can make multiple keyframe groups.

Creating a new group automatically defines a transition between the previous and new group:

To add one, click:
