cutscene ：过场动画

A cutscene is a sequence in a video game over which the player has little or no control, often breaking up the gameplay and used to advance the plot, present character development, and provide background information, atmosphere, dialogue and clues. Cutscenes can either be animated or use live action footage.

Cutscenes are sometimes also referred to by other terms such as cinematics or in-game movies. Cutscenes that are streamed from a video file are sometimes also referred to as full motion video or FMV.

过场动画有时也被诸如“电影艺术”或“游戏中电影”等术语所提及。视频文件里的过场动画有时候也指全动态视频（FMV）。
