Cinematic Runtime Add-On

The Cinematic Runtime is an Add-On allows players to play a scene by sending scene data from Cinematic Editor in the release version of Minecraft.

The Cinematic Runtime add-on is part of the Cinematic Editor extension, a Minecraft editor add-on which utilizing the /camera command for changing perspectives and designing cinematic scenes. The editor has the capability to control your camera perspective with Minecraft Bedrock Editor to allow players to make a Minecraft scene, without knowledge to use the /camera command.

This is made possible through exporting the scene data from the editor extension to another add-on. And the data is saved in world storage, so the scene can still be played when rejoining without the need to import the data again.

The video above showcase how you can export keyframes from the editor and import the data and play a scene in a normal Minecraft world.

Import Scene from Editor to World

In the video, it showcased the extension has the capability to transfer a scene data to the runtime Add-On. Here's how you do it:

1. Apply both Cinematic Editor Extension and Cinematic Runtime Add-On to an Editor project.

2. Create a scene in the Editor UI, then press the Export Scene button.

3. Either using Test World feature or export the project as world in world settings to convert an Editor project to normal world.

4. Enter the world, and type the following command:

   /function cinematic/editor
