🎬 Film Maker Free

The Blender-Style Cinematic Director for FiveM — free edition

Direct entire scenes from inside your server. Film Maker Free is the full

in-game director suite with a sleek, Blender-inspired UI: place actors,

choreograph synchronized multi-actor scenes, record and replay vehicles

frame-perfect, drive real cinematic cameras, and control weather, time and

population — then lay it all on a Premiere-style timeline and press play.

This is not a demo, a trial, or a crippled build. It is the same engine as

Film Maker Pro, with a smaller ceiling. Everything below works, in full, for

as long as you want.

Everything you build is saved as a shareable project and can be played back on

any server with the companion Film Maker Pro — Player.

⚠️ Beta Notice — Film Maker is under active development. Some systems

(prop placement, synced-scene timing, animation sync, preview/playback) may

still show rough edges. This is not a final release — fixes and features ship

regularly.

Main Features

🎬 Timeline Sequencer — one master playhead drives the whole scene. Clips

for actors, vehicles, synced anims, particles, props and cameras on parallel

tracks; scrub, loop, set in/out points, keyframe the world.

🎭 Synced Multi-Actor Scenes — build and play complex synchronized

performances with real-time 3D placement.

🕺 Actor Animation Sequences — hundreds of animations per ped, with body,

facial mood, fake-talk lip-sync, warp, weapon, AI-task, look-at and **real

spoken dialogue** from the game's own voice banks.

🚗 Vehicle Recording & Replay — drive a car, record it, and replay it

frame-perfect using GTA's native vehicle recording (.yvr) — real motion, not

physics guessing.

🎥 Cinematic Cameras — placeable camera entities with look-through, FOV,

roll and depth-of-field. Animate travellings on the timeline; cut between shots

like an editor.

🛣️ Ped Paths & Routes — click a path, the actor walks, runs or drives it,

using GTA's own route queue. Factions turn a standoff into a real firefight.

🚛 Convoys & Trailers — turn one recorded pass into a line of traffic, and

hitch a trailer to any car in the scene.

🌦️ World & Environment Control — weather, time of day, timecycle modifiers

and wind, keyframed on the timeline. Empty-city / population control on the fly.

✨ Particles & 3D Text — a full PTFX library plus world-anchored 3D text

overlays, all gizmo-placed and animatable.

📌 Attach System — parent props, actors or vehicles to bones, vehicles, or a

moving recording — attachments follow through replay.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Crowd Brush — paint whole crowds of peds in seconds.

🧍 Custom Ped Library — save, load and clone player-accurate peds (head

blend, components, props, overlays). Stored as files — no database.

📷 Placement Camera & Gizmo — free camera and translate/rotate gizmo,

snap-to-ground, precise heading, slow-motion preview, Fast Mode placement.

🎞️ Rockstar Editor Recording — capture your scene straight into the

Rockstar Editor and export it from there.

↩️ Undo — step back out of a mistake.

🛠️ Developer Exports — trigger any saved scene from your own scripts (see

Film Maker Pro — Player).

Only in Film Maker Pro

• Curves — a spline path that anything can ride: a camera, a car, an actor,

  a prop, a particle effect, a sound, a line of text.

• Kits — save an arrangement once (a car, a table, the ped sitting on it)

  and drop it into any project as a single object, then unpack it.

• Spatial audio — real positional sound on the timeline, with waveforms.

• In-tool video export — your timeline straight to .webm, no OBS.

• Rockstar Editor camera bridge — send a camera move into an R* Editor

  project to grade and cut it there.

• Character Creator — build a face from scratch.

• Ped performance recording — become your actor, perform the take, replay it.

• Folders and nested sequences — organise a scene the way an editor does.

• Vehicle searchlight, command palette, bullet time, and every

  ceiling above removed.

A project made in Pro will not open in Free — it is refused whole, with the

reason named, rather than loaded half-empty. Your file is never modified, and

Pro opens it exactly as it was.

Dependencies

Film Maker Free is standalone.

Installation Order

ensure film_maker_pro_records

Project and ped folders are created automatically on first start — no SQL setup

needed.

answer the same key and write to the same recordings resource. If you upgrade,

remove film_maker from server.cfg first — Pro can then import your Free

projects.
