How to make an Opening Cutscene in Roblox Studio

i know i made a cutscene tutorial but i figured i'd show how to make an opening cutscene with the button and funky camera movements
more to come
oh and as always, thanks for watching!

Nice video but you should set the black frame to scale 1,0,1,0. Using offset means any monitor larger and 2000x2000 pixels will not have the entire screen being black at the start. If you use scale it will cover the whole screen no matter how large the monitor is.

[@rkgam3zs]

I actually did not know this, thank you!

[@zirenegy]

i would recommend 1,0,1.1,0 and move the frame a bit up, because usally it leaves a empty part at the top.

[@MajesticUC]

@@zirenegy thats actually because of the gui inset. It has nothing to do with the size of the frame. (There is a property that allows u to disable the gui inset)

i love you too man!

[@Cash-is-me]

wait, this is gonna be EPIC. I have the perfect idea for the opening cutscene on my game (also i didnt see this upload for some reason)

[@zacharymfdavis498]

i started following you after your last video, thank you sir

[@dwaqr611]

This I very helpful! Could you make a video on character selection if you can?

[@AptMatrix]

lol, the timing of this video is crazy, if you uploaded it not to much later i would never had found it

[@substrikes]

ty this looks sick

[@Victor_Mccutcheon]

this dudes tutorials are awesome, but ive had a problem with this. everytime i run the script it says cam1 not found in cameras folder. but its litterally in the folder so idk what to do. ive been stuck for like 3 hours trying to do this thing. somebody help

[@user-xo2lt4hc5d]

These tutorials never work for me! I double checked if my script has any errors and none were to be found, i also checked if my cameras were properly named and in the correct folders. All the player sees is black. I need help

[@King_capy1]

hey RKGAM3ZS can you make a tut on like a story cutscene with anims and a moving cutscene then after the cutscene goes to player normal view

[@professortokyogaming4099]

Can I have it so dialogue plays instead of just pressing play?

[@kunemiii]

i followed everything in the video step by step and went over the code like 50 times, but the camera still just locks in where the player spawns with no animation or nothing. Play button does not appear either

[@LloydIzChill]

Nice I really liked the video but the thing is that when implementing this script into the game each time when you die or reset it keeps on playing what do I do about that?

[@King_capy1]

Also can you make a data save with gui

[@GORE_LOS]

Does this cutscene plays for all players in the server? cuz that is what i need

[@awesomeGuy11]

another good tutorial! i really hope you make a discord server because im still getting issues with the scripts, and show you them so i know what im doing wrong.

[@rkgam3zs]

Ill make one really soon!! it would be nice to store projects there, and I can help people out aswell!

[@jonesb2383]

idk if im the only one, but if I do this, the cutscene plays everytime I reset my character?

[@derbear308]

set resetonspawn to false or have the script delete when you click play

[@rkgam3zs]

thank you for helping them 🙏

[@getlost2241]

It's because scripts inside startercharacterscripts run everytime the player's character's loads

[@OneBigAsphalt]

Wow🤔

[@kingmcfry9714]

My camera is stuck on a axis so when I press play after the cutscene the players camera is stuck on the floor and I cant fix it.

[@rkgam3zs]

if there are no errors make sure you typed everything the same as I did, if it still doesn't work let me know and ill troubleshoot with you

On line 4 pls help

[@rkgam3zs]

@@King_capy1 sometimes the script loads faster than the actual thing its looking for, its bad programming on my part, you can use :waitForChild("name of thing you're waiting for") to make sure the script properly waits for the instance

[@pigeonguy-u6x]

@@rkgam3zs I'm having a similar issue, but it says that cam 1 is not a valid member of workspace.Cameras. I think that adding a wait for child may fix it but I am still new to coding and don't know where to put it.

No way you dont know that you can just type 0.5 or whatever number and press enter, it will automatically set it to scale

uh oh, what's happening? any errors?

[@Mihi_bro]

I get always a err cam1 is not vaild member of cameras

[@rkgam3zs]

sometimes the script runs before the game actually loads the part, so you can do cameras:WaitForChild("camNameExample") in order to make the script wait for the part, rather than try to run without the part even being loaded, sorry! ill have to teach this in a future video

if clicking play is the issue, it might be because the buttons visibility is being set to true rather than false
