recipe-cinematic-sequence

Shoot a VIDEO of the scene — build a sequence, bind a clip to a character, frame the shot and render a frame-locked mp4 (with audio) or EXR/PNG sequence — instead of screenshotting frames by hand.

Cinematic sequence (recipe stub)

This is a pointer, not the recipe. The workflow lives in the engine and always matches the build you are connected to, so load it from the running editor before you act:

ngine.recipes {name: "authoring/cinematic-sequence"}

Follow the numbered steps it returns, and read its warnings first. Do not work from this stub alone.

Use it when

  • asked for a video, a movie, a clip, an mp4, or 'render the animation'
  • shooting a cinematic, a cutscene, a trailer beat or a turntable
  • a still frame is not enough because the thing being judged MOVES
  • an animation looks right in single frames and you need to see it play
  • choosing between scene.screenshot_clip, sequence.render and live playback

Ops it names

sequence.create, sequence.add_track, sequence.add_key, sequence.scrub, sequence.state, sequence.render, sequence.render_status, sequence.preview, sequence.frame, sequence.play, sequence.to_text, sequence.save, sequence.set_track, sequence.motion_trail, sequence.record, scene.create_clip, scene.set_clip_channel, scene.screenshot_clip, scene.screenshot, camera.set, lookdev.begin, lookdev.end, ui.overlays, env.set_time, image.sheet

Check each op's arguments with ngine.describe before the first call: the recipe is the order and the discipline, the live schema is the spelling.

Start the session with editor.context. If ngine.recipes cannot be reached the editor is not running or not connected: run /apeiron:status.
