A Movie Camera is a Camera gadget that allows the player to make cutscenes or movies in their levels.

Usage and Behaviour

The Movie Camera is functionally different from the Game Camera, despite also having a Trigger Zone and an Angle and Zoom editor. It has an input like the Game Camera, and therefore can be activated by sensors and logic, but the Movie Camera also has an output; hooking its output up to the input of another Movie Camera causes the first camera to transition to the second.

Movie Cameras can also be placed into Sequencers. Overlapping Movie Cameras within a Sequencer allows for transitions between the cameras; the longer the overlap, the longer the transition will be.
