There's no such thing as a "cut scene creator". It takes several applications to make a good cutscene. Some are bundled such as modeling and animating. It also depends on if you just want to use in-game footage or not. IMHO, the basics are...

1. Source (Scene Modeling such as Daz, or Maya. Or game FPSC)
2. Audio (You need to record your voice-work and soundtrack)
3. Lip-sync (Some Source packages have it, other need 3rd party)
4. Video Editor

As for me, I use....

1. Poser 7 / FPSC X10 (X10 has a camera fly mode)
2. Sonar 7 Producer
3. Poser 7 with Talk Designer Expansion Kit
4. Final Cut Express HD

I create my characters in Poser, so I don't have an issue with importing work. I also cut back and forth between in-game scenes and Poser scenes.

For those who don't want to spend the money, Daz Studio is free and gives you most of what Poser does. In fact, I got Bryce for free through a Daz promotion.

Can you import/export to/from iclone?
Or do you have to buy a third-party app?

That will work. However the trade-off would be that you can't do dialog. And you're limited in your moves (animations).

I've never tried MP. Are there limitations on dynamic entities?

Depending on what it requires, I'd suggest machinima (in-game video recording where the player is the camera) If you have a little directing talent, you can get some pretty good results. I'll post an exaple of one I made if it's still on my hard drive.

I troll because I care.

There are a variety of ways to make cutscenes but one of the ways I use is I build a level in FPSC and set up everything the way I want it to run in the cutscene.Then the cutscene runs during the level and I as the player can use my perspective as a camera and catch footage with fraps or whatever.

Machinima is a film style, not a program....

Indeed. Take a look at Red vs. Blue for an example of what can be done in machinima. That was done in Halo's multiplayer with players acting out the characters and- well, you know the rest. People seem to recommend fraps for actually recording it, so download that and make some sets in FPSC. Again, I'll try to dig up my old film to give you a better idea.

lol, I dont use poser and the stuff you're using, 3dsmax and stuff for me...

also here are some of my tips...

1) dont use Wmm, its basic and anyone from 1000 miles away can tell that it was made in wmm, at least get sony vegas or somthing to do you're stuff...

2) top tools to use.
-Sony vegas
-Adobe after effects.
-Adobe photoshop(yes you can use photoshop for stuff such as colour definition, I use it all the time.)
-WaX(quite hard actualy? lol.)
and
-virtual dub.(I use it for cs source, but you can load up lots of images what are images of one frame, I dunno 1000 of them all in order and it'll put them in and compile it into a movie, for example if you have 200 frames, it'll put it all toghtether and you'll have 200 frames of video in avi instead of jpeg's or tga's or png's ect. also it'll be higher quality instead of using fraps.)

I actualy own probaly most of these(lol, aint got Ae yet )
Wax and vdub are free. sony vegas is probaly 750 dollars or so depending on which version (i suggest 7! its the best.)
and ae is probaly like photoshop, a couple thousand( cs3 extended is 1000 dollars, ae might be 1000 dollars too.)
and photoshop is 1000 dollars if you get cs3 extneded, which I highly recommend.

3)
recording tools!!!

-fraps.(get the full version for petes sake, you dont want a overlay.)
-gamecam(that has a overlay? right?)
-hypercam2.
-camstudio(often misses one or two frames every 30 seconds, you probaly wont notice it that much, and it has a swf/avi export aswell as a movie viewer, and its open source!)


well thats enough for now... might continue on later with more.

I think I may start my self a monthly set of threads like newsletters, but on film editing, each one will have a tutorial inside aswell as some facts, tips and latest stuff to use!
aswell as some graphics and stuff to get you started...

oh and maybe some photoshop tutorials and ect...(colour definition, animation, splash logo's, ect.)

all in a small monthly guide which will be posted in fpsc media and on my blog.

my blog will be given more stuff for other people's usage then the newsletter's so remember to take a gander when I've realeased a newsletter, there's bound to be more there at Matuka Arts.
but firstly I think I should go create some graphics for the newsletters...
