Systems and methods for creating a 2D film from immersive content

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• generating a set of shots for non-interactive content of a computer-based experience based on a content path associated with an interactive version of the computer-based experience;
• importing information describing an edit cut produced using non-linear video editing software, the edit cut recreated as a single linear timeline in a real-time engine;
• providing a set of options for modification of the set of shots, wherein modifications for the non-interactive 2D content are applied additively on timelines that layer on top of content of the interactive version without modifying the interactive version;
• bifurcating a shot of the set of shots to maintain a copy for the non-interactive 2D content that is separate from a copy for the interactive version;
• splitting the copy for the non-interactive 2D content along the linear timeline into a plurality of new temporally overlapping sub-shots defined by different frame ranges of the shot;
• and
• generating rendered frames for the non-interactive content of the computer-based experience based on the set of shots modified based on the linear timeline and the temporally overlapping sub-shots.
