SequenceView

Remarks

Doc 20's exit criterion for E5 is "a cinematic can be authored, scrubbed and played", and the three verbs are the three things here: a track per actor with keys on it, a playhead that drives the scene as it moves, and a transport that advances the playhead.

⚠ Recording is "key what the actor is doing now", not a capture mode. The way a cinematic is actually authored is: move the playhead, pose the actor with the ordinary gizmo in the ordinary viewport, press the key button. A dedicated record mode that intercepted the gizmo would be a second way to move an object, and the first one already has undo, snapping and numeric entry.

⚠ Leaving the panel restores the scene. SequencePlayer takes a snapshot of the actors a sequence names and puts them back — see its own remarks — and this view is what tells it when. Without that, scrubbing a shot and saving the level writes the actors where frame 47 left them.
