SaveKey -> Object

The SaveKey -> Object subcommands in the Motion module allow you to create keyframe animation for a selected object by saving the current values of the selected parameter at a specific frame. For more information on creating keyframes, see the Creating Keyframes section of the Animating User's Guide.

Note:: Be careful when saving a key with the SaveKey -> Transformation command because it saves all three basic transformations (scaling, rotation, and translation). This may cause a problem if you have defined previously single transformations: extra "neutral" keys are added which may adversely affect the animation.

Refer to FcrvSelect -> Object for a description of the parameters.

Procedure

1. Select an object.

2. Select a frame with the time line pointer.

3. Transform or modify the object.

4. Choose a SaveKey -> Object subcommand.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each keyframe.
