More than an orbit camera
Build a deliberate camera plan from replay activity, then keep the generated result open for creative editing.
Editable Flashback Keyframes
Generated shots remain editable inside the Flashback timeline.
Collision-Aware Paths
Camera paths can move above, beside, or around walls, trees, roofs, mountains, and other obstacles.
Automatic Montage
CineWolf can analyse important replay events and build a multi-shot cinematic sequence.
Shot library
A camera language for every replay beat
Every generator starts with a camera behaviour, framing controls, and a path that can be inspected before it touches the timeline.
01
Orbit
Moves around a subject to establish its space, scale, and direction.
02
Follow
Keeps a composed view with a moving subject while preserving a readable travel direction.
03
Flyby
Passes a subject on a lateral line to give fast movement a clear sense of scale.
04
Dolly In
Moves toward a subject to concentrate attention on a decisive moment or detail.
05
Dolly Out
Pulls back from a subject to reveal context or close a sequence.
06
Reveal
Slides from a concealed side into a clear view of the subject or scene.
07
Crane Up
Rises through the scene to establish a subject’s surroundings.
08
Crane Down
Descends toward a subject to bring an aerial view back to human scale.
09
Spiral
Combines an orbit with vertical movement for a layered, rising or falling reveal.
10
Static Tracking
Holds a stable camera position while continuously framing the subject.
11
Side Tracking
Travels alongside a moving subject for a clean profile view.
12
Chase
Places the camera behind a moving subject for momentum and direction.
13
Close Detail
Frames a tight, intentional view of a subject or selected detail.
14
Vehicle Profile
Builds a vehicle-aware composition from its movement direction and available anchors.
Generate Montage
Turn a replay into a cinematic sequence
Generate Montage turns selected replay ranges into a clear, editable sequence. It analyses replay events locally, suggests a varied shot plan, then waits for your review.
Select a replay range
Choose one or more source regions.
Choose a montage preset
Set duration, pace, and format.
Analyse replay events
Use local deterministic rules.
Review generated shots
Inspect diversity and warnings.
Edit or reorder shots
Keep the intended sequence.
Generate Flashback keyframes
Confirm one guarded timeline write.

Obstacle handling
Camera paths that respect the world
Basic paths can pass through walls, trees, roofs, terrain, large builds, and vehicles. CineWolf checks the locally loaded replay world before you commit a path.
Available correction strategies
- Height adjustment
- Lateral translation
- Radius reduction
- Path shortening
- Additional control points
- Visibility and collision warnings
Basic path
Passes through an obstacle.
CineWolf Avoid
Raises and adjusts the route around it.
Subjects and framing
Film more than one player
CineWolf’s framing models can consider more than a single player. The current editor target picker is entity-based, while first-class group and structure selection controls remain part of the product roadmap.
PlayersMobsGroupsVehiclesStructuresAreasDetail points
Group framing
Evaluate spread, visible ratio, and a primary focus instead of forcing every composition into a close-up.
Structure framing
Use scale-aware distances and a wide, readable silhouette when a structure or area is the intended frame.
Vehicle-aware framing
Give moving subjects lead space and anchor-driven camera positions rather than a generic entity offset.
Vehicle profiles
Camera profiles built for movement
Profile moving entities with anchors and a sense of travel direction. Built-in support handles common vehicle-style entities, while specialised providers are clearly marked when they are planned.

Ecosystem outlook
Expand the camera language when the replay needs it
Optional PeterWolf ecosystem profiles are an explicit roadmap direction, not a hidden compatibility claim. Each integration remains optional and local.

Replay editor
Designed for Flashback
CineWolf is designed around Flashback’s editable replay workflow—not around a locked render. It writes only after version checks, preview, and conflict review.
