Are you asking how to create demos that play on the title screen? If so, there are some instructions on how to record these here: https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Demo#Recording_and_playback

If you're asking for turning demos into cutscenes that play in-game, that is not possible.

I meant to say LOOK like demo. (I've just seen it in a few mods)

you mean the text based stuff or the "real time cut scenes"?

Which of these two images more closely resembles the cutscene you want to make? The first one, or the second one?

 

[glaber]

based upon their response to my question. it sounds like they want the one on the right.

Those kinds of cutscenes are pretty complex and require a good knowledge of mapmaking and SOC scripting.

The three main components are:

1. A series of text prompt scripts activated by Linedef type 459 (https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Linedef_type_459)

2. Fixed camera angles using Alternate View Points (https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Linedef_type_422)

3. SOC scripts that tell custom objects what to do. (https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Custom_Object_tutorial)

I can't teach you how to make them in any concise manner, you need to have some mapping experience under your belt before you'll really be ready to tackle this. That said, I won't stop you from trying.
