In the early days of the Video Game 3D Leap, Game Engines were not capable of rendering 3D models with the level of detail that they can today in real-time, and developers had no choice but to use extremely low-polygon models that only vaguely resembled the shapes of characters and objects in the game's world, in order for the games to still perform well. One way around this was the concept of "pre-rendering", where higher-polygon 3D models were rendered once and used as still images. Sometimes the pre-rendered images could still be interacted with, and other times they only functioned as fancy backdrops. In both cases, this required the games to have a Fixed Camera, as a more dynamic camera would require more angles for the images to be rendered from, which would've largely defeated the point of pre-rendering them. Pre-rendering wasn't limited to just in-game graphics, however, many games also pre-rendered their cutscenes, in order to improve the presentation of the story, and from that, players' investment in said story. In Licensed Games, cutscenes often took the form of (heavily-compressed) clips of the work they were licensed from. Not all pre-rendered cutscenes used 3D modeling, some took full advantage of the looser limitations and used fully-animated 2D cartoons, others even used live-action actors. Pre-Rendered Cutscenes are also known as "Full Motion Videos" (or "FMVs" for short), though the term isn't widely used today, and is mostly used to refer to Live Action Cutscenes and Interactive Movies. See those pages for more detail. As game engines and the hardware they ran on got more powerful, pre-rendering saw a significant decline in use, though it is by no means gone entirely. Announcement trailers for new games are still often pre-rendered and feature no in-game footage at all, and some games still use pre-rendering for budget or presentation reasons. For technical reasons as well, playing a video is easy to process and doesn't take up much storage bandwidth, allowing for FMVs to mask or ease loading sequences. This is similar to the fancy loader screens on computers that used tapes to load programs from. Sister Trope to Live-Action Cutscene. See also: Interactive Movie, Digitized Sprites. |

The PlayStation 2 and Wii ports of Rock Band, and the PS2 port of Rock Band 2, had the actual note highways and HUDs rendered in real-time, but in order to make the game look as good as its Xbox 360 and PS3 counterparts, the backgrounds were pre-rendered videos from those versions rather than being rendered in real-time. Sadly, this meant the game lost all of its character customization features in the process. | |

Though most cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts II were done in-engine, the cutscene before the Battle of the 1,000 Heartless was pre-rendered. It shows in that the characters in the player's party have their default equipment, unlike other cutscenes where Sora, Donald, and Goofy use the weapons the player equipped them with. This is probably because more than 1,000 objects would have been far too many for the PlayStation 2 to render all at once. | |

The Tales Series is known for having anime cutscenes, including an anime intro with an Anime Theme Song, since the first PlayStation installment. However, the original Nintendo DS release of Tales of Hearts came in two versions, where one had the standard anime cutscenes, the other version had 3D pre-rendered CG cutscenes. Needless to day, the version with the 3D CG cutscenes wasn't a big seller, and thus it remains the only release in the franchise to feature that style. | |

Donkey Kong Country Returns uses pre-rendering for the intro, the Final Boss's introduction, the ending, the reveal of the Golden Temple, and the transition from the opening area of the Golden Temple to the main level. Three of these cutscenes have three variations depending on which Kongs were present, making a total of twelve pre-rendered cutscenes. | |

Most Mario sports games have intro cutscenes that are rendered using the in-game engine. However, Mario Kart 64, Mario Golf Toadstool Tour, Mario Power Tennis, both Mario baseball games, and Mario Kart Wii use pre-rendered intros (although for MK64, the in-game engine was used to create the intro, but was still pre-rendered video). | |

Dragon Ball: In the first Dragon Ball Z: Budokai game, the opening video is an opening movie rendered using the game's in-engine models and environments, used to recreate the first opening of Dragon Ball Z in 3D. In Budokai 2 and 3, both games got pre-rendered 2D animated opening videos. The Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series had pre-rendered 3D opening cutscenes that showed some of the heroes and villains fighting each other, using a different graphical style and models than the ones used in-game. Both Dragon Ball: Raging Blast games did the same thing. The first Dragon Ball Xenoverse game features a 2D animated opening that plays before the title and as a lead-in to the story, though many of its story cutscenes are rendered in-engine. 2 The sequel uses pre-rendered 3D videos along with 2D animated cutscenes when playing the story mode. |

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla: The "First Look Gameplay Trailer" is, in fact, just a montage of pre-rendered cutscenes that have been misleadingly advertised as gameplay. It is unclear if the scenes featured in the trailer will even be in the final game, as a disclaimer at the bottom of the trailer reveals that the footage is only what is "expected" of the final product. | |

Final Fantasy VII: The in-game environments and cutscenes are all pre-rendered, and characters' in-game 3D models are extremely primitive. "Seamless" cutscenes (like some elevators or perspective shifts) have the in-game models rendered on top of them,note and on the first PC version, it was possible for them to desync while the "flashier" cutscenes would have characters pre-rendered in the cutscene with higher-detailed 3D models. Strangely, some (like Cloud jumping atop a train) use the in-game models, prerendered. | |

Iron Helix: Every frame is pre-rendered, as you can only move forward and backward one screen at a time, and turn left or right 90-degrees at a time, so only a handful of screens and animations were necessary. The arm of the probe that the player can raise to interact with certain elements is pre-rendered, too, with only a handful of sprites for every possible position it can take on the screen. Cutscenes are a mixture of live-action and pre-rendered graphics, with the Sega CD version featuring a couple of exclusive cutscenes, one of which is entirely pre-rendered, the other is solely live-action. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Zelda's Adventure features a pre-rendered world viewed from the top-down, similar to the classic Legend of Zelda games. The Nintendo 64 version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time used pre-rendered backgrounds to depict some locations, such as Hyrule Castle Town and building interiors. The Nintendo 3DS remake would replace them with real-time 3D, but kept the fixed camera angles. |

Halo: Most of the games made by Bungie used in-engine cutscenes, but many of the games made by other studios used pre-rendered cutscenes. Sometimes this would create limitations for the story, like preventing the player characters Fireteam Crimson in Halo 4: Spartan Ops from appearing in cutscenes as Character Customization could not transfer to pre-rendered graphics. | |

In the first Dragon Ball Z: Budokai game, the opening video is an opening movie rendered using the game's in-engine models and environments, used to recreate the first opening of Dragon Ball Z in 3D. In Budokai 2 and 3, both games got pre-rendered 2D animated opening videos. | |

Space Channel 5: All areas in the game were pre-rendered video footage, and the characters are 3D models put in front of the video. This would sometimes result in Ulala and the others looking as if they were floating because sometimes their character models would not be properly aligned with the background. | |

World of Assassination Trilogy: The cinematics in Hitman (2016) are pre-rendered cutscenes, the briefings are a mix of both in-game slides and a pre-rendered presentation. In Hitman 2, the cinematics are still pre-rendered cinematics, but are stills instead of being in motion, while the briefings remain a mix of both, albeit using gameplay frequently. The final game, Hitman 3 uses pre-rendered in-game graphics almost everywhere, with gameplay being shown in briefings when neccesary. | |

Dragon Quest IX: One plotline quest requirement is for the player character to show up alone and wearing a certain set of armor. It's a rather transparent justification for the fact that the following animated cutscene shows only one person wearing the all-encompassing armor, when in-game models allow for huge amounts of customization (and there are no preset party members, only random ones) and every weapon has its own model. Fortunately, it's a pretty awesome cutscene. | |

Pokémon: Starting from the Video Game 3D Leap, there are occasionally pre-rendered cutscenes. In Pokémon X and Y, these cutscenes were distinguished with full-sized models while the main game retains somewhat-chibified models. Later generations would use full-sized models in the overworld, so the cutscenes are distinguished by smoother animations and a larger range of expression (especially with the Heroic Mime player character). | |

The arcade version of Galaxian³ uses pre-rendered graphics played back as videos on two discs (as the game uses two projection screens aligned side-by-side) for the backgrounds, with enemies and their attacks rendered in real-time.

MegaRace: In the first two games, the backdrops of the cutscenes, which feature live actors, and the racetracks themselves are pre-rendered. This is most noticeable if you drive backward on the tracks in MegaRace 2, since the Fixed Camera was obviously not intended for that. The first game is on-rails, so you cannot drive backward in that one. The third game is rendered entirely in real-time, though the cutscenes are still live-action. | |

Starcraft I started as Warcraft II IN SPACE!, until the devs saw a much more advanced RTS being showcased at a convention. They immediately rebuilt the game from the ground up to become the version known today, and only learned later that the "game" they'd been inspired by was actually pre-recorded footage, with an employee only moving his mouse around as though he were playing. | |

Kingdom Hearts has them at the beginning and end of the games. Though most cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts II were done in-engine, the cutscene before the Battle of the 1,000 Heartless was pre-rendered. It shows in that the characters in the player's party have their default equipment, unlike other cutscenes where Sora, Donald, and Goofy use the weapons the player equipped them with. This is probably because more than 1,000 objects would have been far too many for the PlayStation 2 to render all at once. Even though they look in-game, all cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories are actually prerendered. This explains the English dub's Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, awkward pacing, and lack of Lip Lock, because the dubbing team had to work around the limitations of the Japanese-language cutscenes, which were all what they got. |
