Creating a Scene

Start by running the following command: /function cinematic/editor

When executed, this form should appear when you have not created a scene:

This Cinematic Runtime screen shows a button named 'Create Scene', occurs when a scene is not created.

Scene Editor Mode

After pressing the create scene button, you will enter Scene Editor mode. There will be 3 items in your hotbar. The camera item creates a keyframe when it's used.

Create and Edit Keyframe

You then can create and edit a keyframe information using the keyframe edit screen, such as ease type and ease time of a keyframe of a scene.

Edit Existing Scene

After you finished creating a scene, you can run the function command again to modify your scene.

Remove a Keyframe from Scene

When you edit a scene, a new screen comes up and you can modify or remove a keyframe from a scene.

Play Scene Settings

This screen controls the visibility of some elements when playing a scene using the Runtime Add-On.
