Actor recordings

You can record yourself or multiple players and make them move during the cinematic. You can later then edit the file manually to add more actions or fix mistakes.

NOTE

Multiple actions can happen in the same tick, this is why you have the - character in front of the properties start.

Because you can add more than one action, for example:
