Hi!!
These are your sqs first lines:

titlecut [" ","BLACK IN",1]
_camera = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_camera cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

There are some missing lines that you have to add. It should looks like this:

titlecut [" ","BLACK IN",1]
_camera = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_camera camPrepareTarget [0,0,0] <=======Here you have to put the correct coordinates of what your camera is looking at
_camera camPrepareFOV 0.700 <==========This is the zoom of your camera. The default value is 0.700
_camera camCommitPrepared 0 <=========This is the time that your camera needs to go to the next coordinates you defined.
@camCommitted _camera
_camera cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

You have to write the script in this way only for the first camera position. The other parts you wrote are correct.
I hope i helped you! Greetings

The thing you need to understand is the camera doesnt record. it works in real time.

i.e. if you set your camera to point at some units. If those units move by the time your cutscene is triggered, they wont be there, and you will be looking at a landscape and thats it.

So what you need to do (if your goal is to have units doing things in the cutscene). you will need to sync a beginning waypoint for them to a trigger that doesnt get triggered until the cutscene does.
