Director (Scene) Node

Director (Scene) Node

The Director (Scene) node includes a camera track that specifies the active camera for a track view sequence. You can add sequence-specific nodes (for example, Depth of Field or Comment) under the Director node to override the same nodes that were set at the sequence level.

To add a Director node in the Track View

  1. In Lumberyard Editor, choose Tools, Track View.

  2. In the Track View, click the Add Sequence [Image NOT FOUND] icon.

  3. In the Add New Sequence dialog box, enter a name for your sequence and click OK.

  4. Right-click your sequence and choose Add Director (Scene) Node.

  5. Right-click the Director node and click Add Track.
    [Add the Director node in the Track View to manage your track view sequence.]

  6. Select the track and double-click to position the key on its highlighted row in the timeline.

  7. Double-click the green marker, and under Key Properties, enter a value for Value.

    You can add the following tracks and then set the key properties to the Director node.

Note
You can add multiple Director nodes to a scene, but only one Director node can be active. To change the active Director node, right-click the node and choose Set as Active Director. When you deactivate a Director node, all child node animations are deactivated. This is useful when you want to enable and disable animation for specific objects within the same track view sequence.
