 ## Overview
 
-The Cutscene Editor Plugin provides a node-based interface for creating complex cutscene sequences without manual coding. Users can configure narrative sequences through visual connections that mirror the action-attachment functionality of the underlying cutscene system.
+The Cutscene Editor Plugin provides a node-based interface for creating complex cutscene sequences. Instead of generating code, the editor now manages cutscene resources that can be directly loaded and executed by the game engine. Users can configure narrative sequences through visual connections that are stored as structured data.
 
 ## Features
 
 - **Visual Node-Based Interface**: Drag-and-drop nodes for creating cutscenes
 - **Action Representation**: Visual nodes for all core action types (Move, Turn, Dialogue, Animation, Wait)
-- **Parallel Execution**: Special Parallel Group nodes for simultaneous actions
-- **Connection System**: Visual connections for sequential and parallel execution flow
+- **Connection System**: Visual connections for sequential execution flow
 - **Property Editing**: Inline parameter editing within nodes
 - **Real-Time Preview**: Immediate visualization of cutscene execution
 - **Undo/Redo System**: Comprehensive action reversal capabilities
-- **Save/Load Functionality**: Persistent storage of cutscene designs
+- **Resource Management**: Save/Load cutscene designs as structured resources

+## Resource Structure
+
+Cutscenes are stored as structured resources with:
+- **Nodes**: Each node has a unique ID, type, position, and parameters
+- **Connections**: Each connection has a unique ID, source node/port, and target node/port
+- **Metadata**: Version and timestamp information
+
+## Runtime Execution
+
+To execute a cutscene at runtime:
+
+```gdscript
+# Load the cutscene resource
+var cutscene_resource = preload("res://path/to/your/cutscene.tscn")
+
+# Generate actions from the resource
+var generator = CutsceneGenerator.new()
+var cutscene_manager = generator.generate_cutscene(cutscene_resource)
+
+# Add to scene and start
+add_child(cutscene_manager)
+cutscene_manager.start()
+```
