# Cutscenes
### Camera Cutscene
1. Create a new **Cinemachine Virtual Camera** by selecting **GameObject -> Cinemachine -> Virtual Camera.**
2. You can define whether the cutscene should be triggered by a trigger, interact, or event. In this particular example, I've added a **Cutscene Trigger** component to the Button object and set the trigger type to **Event** as I want to play the press sound using the **Custom Interact Event** component. Then set the **Cutscene Type** to **Camera Cutscene**.

If you enable **Wait For Dialogue**, the cutscene will not be played until the dialogue ends.
{% endhint %}
2. Add a **Playable Director** and **Animator** component to the **Virtual Camera** object.
2. Open the **Timeline** window by selecting **Window -> Sequencing -> Timeline**. Select the object containing the **Playable Director** component, and then click on **Create** in the Timeline window. This action will generate a new **Timeline Asset**.
3. Within the Timeline window, press the plus **(+)** symbol and choose the **Animation Track** option.
6. Assign a **Virtual Camera** to the **Animation** Track field. This will allow us to animate the virtual camera within the timeline window. Next, click on the red record button to start creating the animation.
{% hint style="info" %}
For those unfamiliar with creating animations using Timeline, you can access the Animation window by first adding a keyframe to the timeline track (by moving the object) and then clicking on the **three dots -> Edit in Animation Window**.
{% endhint %}
7. When you have finished creating the animation on the timeline, be sure to assign all required references in the **Cutscene Trigger** component.
### Player Cutscene
1. Create or copy a **CutscenePlayer** object from the **Playground Demo** scene. This object represents a simplified version of the player that contains only the camera.
{% hint style="info" %}
The *CutscenePlayer* object should contain **Animator**, **Playable Director** and **Cutscene Player** components.
{% endhint %}
2. Create a **Box Collider** object and add a **Cutscene Trigger** component to it. In this example, the trigger type is set to **Trigger** so that when the player enters the trigger, the cutscene will play. Then set the **Cutscene Type** to **Player Cutscene**.
3. Open the **Timeline Window** and start recording the **CutscenePlayer** object. You can animate the **CutscenePlayer** object as you want, you can add cutstom objects to it, for example hands, and animate them easily.
4. When you finish animating the **CutscenePlayer**, assign it in the **Cutscene Trigger** to the **Cutscene** and **Cutscene Player** fields.
{% hint style="info" %}
When you enable the **Wait For Blend In** option, the cutscene will not be played until the main camera is blended into the cutscene camera. You can use the **Blend In Offset** value to specify in what time to play the cutscene.
The value 0.5 means that the cutscene will be played at half the blend time for a smooth transition.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
I highly recommend watching some **YouTube** tutorials on how to use **Timeline**. This will help you unlock its true potential and create fantastic cutscenes.
