SLATE is the most efficient, easy and intuitive sequencer for creating cinematic or gameplay cutscenes in Unity, full of unique features and an artist friendly UI/UX for achieving the best workflow and results possible within a lesser amount of time.
SLATE will help you achieve your creative vision without the hassle, in a familiar linear track-oriented realtime editor, inspired by software like Adobe After Effects and Premiere right inside Unity.
Feature Highlights:
-------------------------------------
• Take Control with unparalleled Realtime Scrubbing, Visual Feedback and deterministic Layer-Based sampling.
• Direct cutscenes with an intuitive camera Shot System, while making moving shots without a hassle. Create transitions, automatic blend in/out of gameplay and render from a single consistent Render Camera, thus keeping all image effects like Color Correction or AO applied the same.
• Animate anything within a familiar Curve Editor and manage animation keys easily, within an intuitive DopeSheet Editor.
• Animate action clip parameters directly within the clips, in a similar fashion to animation software like After Effects and achieve much more in less time.
• Work with Auto-Keying or Manual-Keying modes similar to most animation software.
• Visualize and edit animation Motion Trails directly within the 3D Scene View.
• Playback Animation Clips on top one another, or smoothly cross-blend between them, using an advanced layer-based Animation Track system.
• Take Advantage of direct Mecanim Animation Clip playback without the need to create a Controller, while also using animation re-targeting and root motion.
• Playback Audio Clips while taking advantage of Unity's new audio mixer for finer control and applied effects.
• Utilize a variety of action clips included for animating lighting, time, fog, particles, 2D sprites, facial expressions, head look-at, subtitles, image overlays, pathfinding and much more with full scrub control and realtime editor feedback.
• Work with Virtual Actor References and prefab actor instances automatically and without a hassle.
• Reuse made Cutscenes by animating actor properties and clip parameters in local Cutscene Space.
