Using the Sequencer (Quick-start instructions):
It all comes down to this: TK17 is "movie maker" software, and (just about) every feature of the program exists to create movies: creating & testing actors, outfits, and poses all for use in the Sequencer. Exactly as the name suggests, you string together a sequence of poses/events to make an entire movie. Dress and undress your models, control the camera, add titles and transitions between scenes. You can even add choices to create your own sex games with branching to create interactive stories! You can change rooms so your entire movie does not need to take place in the same location, and you can swap actors so you can have more than four (4) performers in your story (though you can still have only four on-screen at once.)Â Think of the Sequencer as where you script & perform your movie (TK17 has a built-in video recorder, but it is so astoundingly bad... using a proprietary codec with low 12fps frame-rate, no sound, and embedded watermark... that it is not suggested anyone use it. Instead, a 3rd party video capture app is recommend).
The Sequencer presents you with 9 infinite timelines. Each column is one second and where you decide what happens and when. Drop a pose on the "Poses" line to add actors to your scene. The earlier (further left) you drop an object (outfit, pose, effect or command) on your timeline, the earlier it's applied. The actors, outfits, and poses were all created elsewhere in TK17. Insert special effects, text bubbles, sound-effects, change lighting, set the camera position and even add spoken audio phrases from among the model's voice library.
Change/alter your actor's costumes by dropping/setting them on their timeline. Your actor will continue to wear an outfit or act out a pose until you assign a new one further down the timeline. So if you drop an outfit on the first frame and never replace it further down, your model will continue to wear that outfit for the entire movie. The same for "poses". A pose will loop infinitely until you replace it with another further down the timeline. Position the screen as desired then drop a "Camera" object on the timeline to force the camera to move to that position during playback. Move the timeline slider to the beginning (drag the position "Tracker" button or click "|⏪") and click the Play ("▶️") button to watch the result.

Creating your first Sequence
The best way to understand how to create sequences is to follow along as we create a simple movie. Starting with a blank timeline in an empty room:
