Cinematic Editor level fly-through

Fivz

Does anyone know how to make a fly-through with the cinematic editor? I have no clue where the file saves to when I render the animations.

Is this thread of any help?

What I'm trying to figure out is if there's a way to convert the cinematic files into a video file so I can edit it layer on.

It doesn't really work that well. See, the cinematic editor only has two interpolation modes: linear, and some weird S-shaped spline type that you have no control over. So unless you plan on having a lot of cuts in your fly-through -- which would sort of defeat the purpose of having a fly-through -- then you're going to be dealing with really jerky camera motion, or motion that's smooth but starts and stops really irritatingly.

On top of that, cinematics in the map do NOT show up when the map is opened in the cinematic editor, so you'll need to re-place all of those -- I had to do this for all the fans in tram when I made that looping menu fly-through that Soul_Rider linked.

Well It's either that or I do it manually in game. If there's a way to control the camera speed in game then the whole process would be a lot easier.

Have you tried using the speed command with cheats on in spectate? That might get you what you're after.

That's because fans in tram are dynamic props. Use the film command in console with cheats on, or while in the RR

Does any one have an example of a flying dropship in cinematic editor?

The eclipse menu

Oops, you're right, it's dynamic props that don't show up... though I'm tempted to say that cinematics don't either... but don't quote me on that.

Cinematics don't, neither do decals. Any entities from the editor won't show up in the cinematic editor. Any dev layers will also show up, like pathing.

I forgot about the film command!!

SamusDroid

You aren't the only one. Only like 3% of the active player base knows about it

I *think* occlusion works though. Don't quite recall...

Yes
