You could do it using the same method as in the demo. The feature demo is pretty much a "cut-scene".

You can't create rendered FMV scenes in TGE, though. You need a modeling/animation/rendering application for that.

1. Learn to use it to model.
2. Learn to use it to animate.
3. Learn to use the rendering options.
4. Utilize that knowledge.
5. FMV.

Once you have a rendered FMV, you'll need to modify the TGE source for the movie format to utilize playback. Or you could utilize the feature demo for in-game cut-scenes.

What do you mean by the Demo, and what format do i need to make the FMV in?

Flash GUI Component

When you download the demo for TGE (which I'll assume you have if you're interested in the technology), there's a feature demo mission. Digging deep into the mission files and scripts, you'll be able to learn how the camera was controlled and such.
