ImageTrack
Film any camera without a line of code. Point a picture layer at a camera, a scene or an image, and cut between shots with the razor.
An ImageTrack is a picture layer of a CookVideo. Its Source picks what it shows: a Camera (a camera shot), a scene through its CurrentCamera, or an image, drawn while the playhead is inside the clip. Render picks As camera, Solid or Rendered for this clip alone, with its own Samples. With no Source it is an image the video's Init Script draws into; track:IsActive(time) and track:LocalTime(time) help with that. Offset places what is inside it in time.
