Technology · Sequencer and Pose & Grip
Direct the scene.
Cutscenes and cinematic moments are directed right in the editor, on a timeline: shots, camera cuts, keyed motion, lip-synced lines and events. The physics is recorded, so a scene plays back the same every time.
- ShotsWhere each camera sits and what it sees
- CutsWhen the film cuts from one shot to the next
- Keyed motionAnything can move on a key
- Recorded physicsPlays back the same every time
- LinesVoices, lip-synced on the timeline

01 · Slow motion
Freeze a moment, cut around it.
Slow a scene down and cut between angles while a thrown bottle hangs in the air. Because the physics is recorded, the bottle flies the same way every time you play the shot back, so you can adjust a camera without the action changing under you.
02 · Night and rain
A launch at night, in the rain.
Weather, sparks and lights are all on the timeline. A catapult launch at night: rain, the deck lights, sparks off the shuttle.
03 · Lines
Lip-synced, in the editor.
Characters deliver their lines with the mouth moving to the words, timed on the timeline next to the cameras and cuts.
04 · From gameplay
Gameplay becomes a cinematic.
A shoot-down over the island, the jet hit and the pilot ejecting: the same engine and the same aircraft as the game, directed as a shot.
05 · First person
From the pilot's seat.
The camera can ride anything: here, the pilot's view off the catapult in Night Shield.
06 · Pose & Grip
One rig for any skeleton.
Pose & Grip is one rig that works on any skeleton: people, birds, dogs. Hands and feet stay where they're put while the body moves, so a hand stays on a ledge, a foot stays on a step and a wing stays spread. It's in progress, and it's what lets our characters climb and hold.
A gull, posed.
