ScriptTrack

Paint a layer with Luau. Return one function of time and draw whatever you like into it, from a scene through its camera to pictures made by nodes.

A ScriptTrack is a layer of a CookVideo and a ModuleScript at once. Its source returns function(time); while the playhead is between InPoint and OutPoint, in Play mode and in renders, the function is called with the video's time and draws into the track's own image, for example with scene:RenderTo(script). A function that errors is tried again next frame, and its layer is left out until it runs cleanly. See Scripts.

Example

A shot that turns a part with a track and films itLuau
local video = script.Parent
local spin = video.Spin
local spinner = video.Scene.Spinner

return function(time)
	spinner.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0, spin:ValueAtTime(time), 0)
	video.Scene:RenderTo(script)
end
