Add a pre-redered cutsceen/intro

GrzegorzPEdrycz

Hey ! 

 I have a one question for the more advanced user of AC and Unity . What is the best way to add a pre-rendered cutscene  ( a video file created in other software )  to your game ? I want to have short animated story trailer between chapters
Thanks for help

You will probably need Unity Pro to do video.

Also video doesn't quite work the same with iOS because how how iOS treats video (goes full screen).

If I were you I would build the cut-scene as a 3D/2D animation with Unity's animation engine.combined with AC's very powerful cut-scene and camera system.

There's no reason not to: it will save your build size too.

I think you are right. I want to make some 2.5 d animation like
this one


of course mine animation will be much more simple
So you think that i can capture "Similar" effect in unity and AC tools ?

Yea - totally.

The Unity animation system is very powerful- limited only by your art and animation skills. AC's cut scene development system can sequence all your elements together fairly easily too.

I'd you've used Maya and/or After Effects then the Unity anim system will be familiar- to an extent. You could even set up stuff in Maya and export as FBX with the keys included.
