Actually if you are interested in particular EA-BI war cutscenes, they are located directly in your tbp folder, you can use specific software to view them from there without the need using fred. (VLC media player can be used for that and it's free too).

Support for more cutscenes - The game will now play cutscenes before/instead of briefings, debriefings, etc. It's highly unlikely we'll use this for R1 as we don't have the time to make the cutscenes. But R2 onwards will hopefully use this to some degree. Whether we'll ever be crazy enough to drop text based briefings completely and go for cutscenes only is another matter. It would be a lot more work and would require us to find extra animators to do it, but it is possible now.

You'll need to edit the mission manually in notepad to turn the functionality on though. I've not got the cutscene selection editor working yet and it could be quite a while before I do. Once you've added them though FRED will load and save them correctly.

Reminds me of missing EACW cutscenes. No filming crew around ? ;)
