# Cinematics in Unreal Engine 5.8 (Sequencer and Movie Render Graph)

Expert level here means the cut is checked as data before anything is built and a render is judged
on its files and frames, not the viewport. The core stance: plan offline, build in one transaction,
lock timing against the music before animating, light from approved masters, render per shot through
one template graph, hand linear EXRs, an edit and a color note to the grade. If a sibling skill
named here is missing from your available skills, load it with `skill_get` (Scenario MCP) or ask the
user to install it (https://github.com/scenario-labs/skills#install); unattended, proceed from tool
schemas and flag the gap.
