You need to use wait in your cinematic for your cameras.

and so on. You may want to fade in after the first 2 second wait...

Have a look at some Blizz cinematics to learn the basics.

one thing u don't need 2 do a camera for every color just the player who is using it so ually p 1 or red.

[ModelTester]

what do you mean?

You use wait action for your cinematic.
Apply Camera 001 for Over 3 seconds
Wait 3 Seconds

Also, you don't need a camera for every player. If you're making a cinematic, it should be only for 1 player.

why is this?the cinematic cannot be played for all players?

Look at my cinematic tutorial map in the World Editor. I added comments inside the triggers, so that hopefully you can understand what each trigger does and so forth. It's an old cinematic and has some flaws such as the spells and the ending sometimes doesn't end the cinematic (will need to fix that some day) but overall some people have found it useful. Let me know if you get anything positive out of it.

[reason 3]

Thx,it helped me in understanding cinematics more...but still i want the to pause the game while in cinematic,can this be done?

[Craka_J]

Yes. If I am not mistaken, you can easily pause the game in cinematic mode by using the trigger action "Game - Pause Game" or something like that. I never tried it before, but if that does not work, then getting the game to 'pause' or 'freeze' is probably more complicated in cinematic mode than I thought.

[reason 3]

Might be...whenever i use the game - pause,game pauses-cinematic plays,but i cannot unpause game even if i use game - unpause game...
Any help?

[Craka_J]

That's an odd problem. If you use "Game - Pause Game" and it doesn't unpause when action "Game - Unpause Game" is triggered, then there is an issue. Not sure what though. :\

If you need any help with your cinematic, you could send me your map :\

[reason 3]

I have some "things/spells/system" inside i wouldn't like you to see... :P
Maybe you could give me instructions?

I'm wouldn't steal it -.- I would only work on your cinematic.

Indeed...well i will try and split it into 2 parts.When 1st part finished it triggers the unpase.We'll see.

[ALiEN95]

maybe you could store all your triggers with events like periodic or game time event to variable

Than do something like

for each integer from 1 to (number of your triggers)
turn off TRIGGER [Integer A]
pick every unit - pause picked....
