Timeline and Cinemachine in Unity 2017

What the talk is about

Oleksandr Shlyhin shows how to produce cinematic content in Unity 2017 without coding, using Timeline, Cinemachine and Recorder together. Timeline is a sequencer with tracks for animation, audio, object activation and cameras; Cinemachine provides virtual cameras that follow a target, blend smoothly between each other, ride virtual rails and use noise profiles for shake; Recorder captures the result as video or screenshots (audio support was still missing at the time). Using a tank demo project, he builds a short clip: an explosion triggered by an activation track, camera transitions, keyframe recording and a lens change for a close-up. He cites studios that used these tools in production and suggests turning a finished game into marketing trailers. The Q&A covers mobile performance and broken references in Timeline. Useful for developers, technical artists and marketers.
