What is Cinemachine?• A modular suite of procedural cameras which can ‘see’

• The product of almost 20 years of experience designing game camera systems over numerous game genres and in feature films

• Built right into Unity

• A completely unified camera system to seamlessly bridge from cinematic cutscenes to gameplay and back

Cinemachine in the Sequencer• Cinemachine has been designed to plug right into Sequencer

• One button ‘create shot’ sets up a full Cinemachine Base Rig camera

• Cut or blend shots simply by sliding the shots on the Sequencer track

• Incredibly fast: Within minutes, create a number of shots, all with smart cameras filming your scene based on your direction

• Use Sequencer to drive any Cinemachine variable
