Well, first of all, your question is very fluent (please update).

What i can tell you is to make a cinematic you need cameras and cinematic mode on, Cinematic mode on alows you to basicly put the map in cinematic, but then if you want the screen to move around you need cameras (create cameras) then apply them and wait. try it =D

Yep, to create one do what JnM said. But do note: A starting cinematic is NOT good for the gameplay. Mostly people join your TD to play, not watch a cinematic. It will also prehibit rehosting. I'll quickly think "naw, I dont wanna watch that cinematic again, i'll host something else".

But you should ofcourse figure that out for yourself :)

Right, i've got the camera i want in position and Turned cinematics on at the start of the game.
Can i just make the camera rotate? The cinematic is just a spiral round the map from the middle nothing complex.
Thx

Yeah, look around as I said, you should see in the "camera" section rotate camera, or you can just place cameras around and stuff

The Game wont just quit, you have to go to Game - Victory and then itll play victory (remember to use waits when you apply cameras), if your not sure dude, just look at other peoples work
