Does anyone know how to make a rpg cutscence

Yeah, I actually made a forum on this:

In Game Cutscene

This should be easy and fairly straight forward, but as the title suggests, an in game cutscene. Keyword IN game, so not a 300 frame gif, but something you experience in between gameplay. Basically, I just want my character to be still when a cutscene happens, and after, he can move again. In the cutscenes, he is still and other people in the scene are still and talk with captions bellow. This will happen a lotnin the game, so it should be something reoccurung. And no, I have not yet begun this …

But basically there are 2 ways to go about this:

1. Go on pixilart.com and make a literal animation that leads to the next level, and then import all of the frames in using flowlab.

2. Have the actuall characrers in your game follow an animation, which is harder but can be more authentic at times.

For my game I just wanted the charcters to talk, and so When they recieve a messge for that cutscene their movment was locked onto 0 and their animations was locked too. Once the cutscene was over, it was all unlovked and a fight begun.
