UnrealMatinee, the system for keyframing properties over time and creating in-game cinematics, features:
  • Track-based non-linear style editing system with support for controlling object movement and animation, playing audio, modifying properties, cutting between cameras, toggling particles, field-of-view, and much more.
  • Integrated Curve Editor allows for precise control of keyframed motion and properties over time. You can manipulate specific curve channels, adjust control point tangents and flatten or break curves.
  • Preview your animations completely in-editor for real-time feedback. You can also 'scrub' the sequence to instantly view specific regions.
  • Standard transport timecode support (MM:SS:FF), as well as robust support for frame-rate specific media (film, NTSC, PAL, etc.).
  • Post processing effects such as fades, depth of field, bloom and color filtering effects can be easily animated and fine-tuned for each camera shot. Also, 'slow mo' tracks can be used for freeform time shifting.
  • Export scenery, animation curves and actor transformations for use with stand-alone animation software such as 3ds Max. You can then import changes to actor animation and camera motion back into UnrealMatinee!
  • Organizational features for complex cinematic sequences. You can group animation tracks into folders, or create customized filter tabs that allow you to quickly switch between groups while working.
  • UnrealMatinee isn't only for cinematic cut-scenes. You can use it to animate interactive, physical objects in the game such as doors or platforms. Animation sequences can easily be reused by multiple objects in a level.
  • Robust user interface with support for loop ranges, key/time snapping, playback speed controls, color-coded tracks, automatic key reduction, copy/paste and undo/redo.
  • Create 'camera animations' which can be used to posses the in-game camera for immersive cinematic effects and interesting camera angles. Also, you can setup simple orientation constraints (Look At target).
  • Supports binding multiple actors to a single Matinee animation group. For example, you could smoothly dim 10 lights in your level, all at once.
  • Any property can trivially be exposed for UnrealMatinee to control! Also, new types of animation tracks can easily be added.
