== Common settings ==
The "Draw all paths" checkbox toggles cinematic paths drawing. Paths are drawing only in Atlas, and aren't drawing, when cinematics is playing. It's useful to check paths, created by triggers.

== Paths editing ==
To create a path, enter a non empty string and press the "Add" button:

To remove a path, select it in the list above and press the "Delete" button. A newly created path contains 1 position (green) node with the camera position and 1 target (red) node with the camera focus position:

== Node editing ==
To start editing nodes select the "Move cinema path nodes" tools (the last tool in the tool row):

Step 1: select any node:

Step 2: press an `Insert` button on the keyboard to add a node after selected (it'll be created in the camera focus point with delta time equals to 1 second ):

Step 3: pick any axis and move mouse to move the selected node:

To delete a node, select it and press a `Delete` button on the keyboard. If you need to edit delta times, you could edit nodes in a map XML file (atlas editing for delta times will be added later).
