Cineaster: The lightest cutscene editor

Create stunning cutscenes, cinematic takes, and dynamic camera transitions without the complexity of heavy sequencing tools. Cineaster is a workflow-focused editor designed to bridge the gap between Unity's Cinemachine and your game's narrative logic.

Whether you need a simple camera transition for a puzzle, a complex intro sequence, or a dialogue shot, Cineaster creates the dedicated Timeline and Virtual Cameras for you, managing the state logic automatically.

🚀 Key Features:

  • Workflow First: Create a "Take" in seconds. Cineaster automatically handles the creation of Timelines, Virtual Cameras, and Dolly Tracks.
  • Smart State Management: An intuitive "State Driven" system manages active cameras, blending, and transitions effortlessly.
  • Built-in Dolly Editor: Edit camera paths directly in the Scene View. Add points, adjust curves, and snap to ground with a single click.
  • Trigger Area Manager: Easily set up activation zones for your cutscenes with Start/End events.
  • Animation Sync: Sync your character's movement with the camera path using the "Animate Target" feature.
  • Skip Cutscene System: Native support for skipping cutscenes with fade-in/fade-out effects.

Package Includes:

  • Cineaster Editor Window & Tools
  • Dolly Track & Path Editor
  • Trigger Area & Event Managers
  • Controllers
  • Complete Demo Scene
  • Hunter's 3D Pack - INCLUDED
