Using Cinematic Sequence Devices

The Cinematic Sequence device provides a way to add cinematic sequences to levels, allowing you to add custom keyframe animation on a non-linear timeline.

Think of it as creating a cutscene to showcase an enemy's capabilities, an important cinematic that shows how to perform a task, or an exchange between characters to drive the story.

For more informaiton on how to use the device with a level sequence, see Sequencer and Control Rig.

This device uses a lot of memory and requires a lot of computing power to add animations. Loading one Cinematic Sequence device on your island will take a few seconds, so use caution when adding multiples of this device on the same island.

The amount of memory the device takes is largely dependent on the complexity of the asset it plays. Playtest your sequences to make sure they run smoothly in Fortnite Creative.
