Unreal Movie Studio Details
This is a great tool for use in making intro movies using the Deus Ex title. See additional information for features of DXMS. 

overview of the packages: 

DXMS1_6.u ---------- The main package - all the main classes are in here. Director, 
MovieInfo, SimplePoint and MoviePlayer are all in here. However, 
that is about it. On it's own, all it can do is change level, 
trigger another Director, and loop itself, which is pretty useless 
on it's own. A new class in here is DXMSModule - this is the base 
class for all the add-on modules. I have included in the .zip a 
file calles Module.txt which explains the inner working of the 
module classes, and how to write your own modules. 
There is one difference, in that, to trigger another Director, 
the command is "Director DirectorName" instead of "Effect DirectorName" 

DXMSCamera.u ------- This contains all the camera classes - the only actual classes that 
are in there are MovieCamera, and DXMSCamera, which is the module 
itself. The functions are all still there, and should all work the 
same as they always have done. 

DXMSPawn.u --------- This class contains all the pawn-related stuff that was in DXMS 
before - including all the head animation classes, and MoviePawn 
itself. 

DXMSAudio.u -------- I'm sure you're getting the idea now... This one only has MovieSound 
in at the moment - this, in case you don't know, allows you to attatch 
a sound to a pawn, so that it follows it around. Before the final 
release, this package may have more stuff in it. 

DXMSCredits.u ------ This contains the credits system that is detailed in one of the 
tutorials on the UMS website. 

DXMSEffects.u ------ This contains the blur effect, and a moving light which can follow an 
actor. 

DXMSHud.u ---------- This has three slightly different HUD's in it. Firstly is the one that 
was released with previous versions of UMS - Letterbox. Then, when I 
discovered that the Letterbox HUD that we had wasn't actually widescreen 
dimensions, I made another one - Anamorphic (that's the term used for how 
they get the widescreen shape onto normal size film). Then there is also 
a DialogueHUD which will allow text to be put on the HUD. I will probably 
be modifying this package slightly before the final release to enable 
textures to be placed on the HUD, and a couple of other things. 

DXMSSmoothCamera.u - This will enable you to have cameras which will accelerate and decelerate 
at the beginning and end of each move. This facility was in the most recent 
DXMS release, but I wasn't happy with it at all, so I took it out of DXMSCamera 
and decided to make a new package out of it.
