Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The cutscene system is rather nice, but it should have other formats available, just to make it easier for people to use them.

Describe the solution you'd like

We could have the option to use actual MP4 and AVI video files, but that might be too much of a hassle with the file sizes, patents, and codecs. So instead, I think the option to use a sequence of image files should do, with the usual options to set a duration for each frame, and to have a separate audio file for the specified cutscene.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Better video formats will come. Image slideshows can be done in ZScript with relatively little effort so these do not really need a complex definition syntax.
