So, progammer and I have been working 2 1/2 hours straight on the matter of how you add a cinematic to your map. We came to the following conclusion: Blizz pulled a little custom stunt on their Story01 map. We can't get the trigger they used for cinematics out of the map and it's impossible to edit it. Also some functions are under a lockdown for authorisation. As long as Blizzard doesn't get out a patch to enable us to put stuff up, all we can do is hope.
I'd strongly suggest someone puts up a thread on the official US forums and tells them to get shit done. We all want this feature and we also want more control inside the previewer about movement 'n stuff. This is something huge we got our hands on and Blizz smacked us in the face. We're trying to come up with a solution for the Singleplayer at least that isn't loading a new map for everything. Hopefully we'll get you something! Stay tuned!
To be more specific its the matter with actions that is unauthorized (give out unauthorized error) when used for custom map (except for blizz's official map like the campaign one). This case it is Start/Stop movie recording.
Good, we checked on different things. It all comes down to the single fact that every solution we think of is blocked by the unauthorized error while trying to play your own movies. This might be to prevent people from converting porn and playing it in their map or something, but it's messing with my mood A LOT. Time to get back to the drawing board and come up with something else.
Edit: We might be able to place movies on a unit actor ... maybe we could get a plane and a camera set up to simulate a cinematic playing. But I don't have the knowledge for this yet.
Yeah, yeah. I know. Thats not the Logo itself, thats the damn bplaced Host. We're going to switch soon, I'll probably just upload it to the starcraftmapping.de Server for the time being.

What cinematic?
@KerenskyLI: Go
The one we just figured out how to make in the previewer and export to SC2Scene file.

(off topic) Not sure why Gorandor but Avast is insisting that the http://tsof.bplaced.net/brslogo.png in your sig is some kind of malware.

Locked for outdated information. Also to test mod power :P
Cinematic is possible here
