Here is a reference list of clips that can be added in the Action Track of a Director Group, per their category except for the Animate Property which is a general-purpose clip, thus it has no category. Most clips have at least one Animatable Parameter and thus possible to animate their effect over the duration of the clip.

Animate Properties

With the Animate Properties clip you can choose to animate any number of properties or fields on any component attached to the actor, or on any gameobject within its whole transform hierarchy. In the case of a Director Group, that actor would the Director Camera gameobject. The Animate Properties clip support Blend In and Blend Out which will make the animated properties blend in from their original value to the animated values and blend out from the animated values back to the original values again! The interpolation used for blending in and out can also be changed.

You should not use the Animate Properties clip in the Director Group to animate the director render camera position, rotation etc since those are animated far easier using Camera Shots in the Camera Track. You can instead use the Animate Properties clip here to animate other properties like image effect properties attached on the director render camera.

Composition

Additive Scene

Additively loads a Unity scene within the current scene either temporary or permanently, with options to offset the scene objects, or sample the cutscenes that scene contains as well.

Sub Cutscene

SubCutscenes can be added within a cutscene. This clip wraps that cutscene within which can be sampled as normal by the master cutscene. Notice that if the sub-cutscene has any CameraTrack, it will temporarily be disabled for the duration of the sub-cutscene. Please read more about SubCutscene here.
