I tried to record movement of a character in playmode to generate a cutscene but after a few seconds unity completely freezes up and crashes and you can’t close it unless you use Task Manager. Also whats the easiest, free way to make a cutscene besides scripting?
The easiest will probably be to use Unity’s Timeline tool which is specifically made for that type of stuff:

Here’s also the link for the 2018 version of unity manual: About Timeline | Timeline | 1.2.18
But there’s also a free tool on the Unity store if that doesn’t work (but I would still recommend trying to get the Timeline working first):
