Animating scene objects
Using the Keyframe Editor to specify a keyframe setting:
1.
Select the keyframe on the property channel.
The keyframe turns yellow indicating that it is selected and the keyframe’s current
settings are displayed in the Keyframe Editor’s fields.
2. Optional: assign a name to the keyframe if the keyframe will be accessed using a
S
ET K EY F RAME action.
To name the keyframe, type the name in the K EYFRAME N AME field located in the
Keyframe Editor and press E NTER .
3. Optional: change the location of the keyframe on the property channel.
The location of the keyframe on the timeline is displayed either as a frame number or
a time, depending on the Keyframe Editor’s setting (see
“Keyframe Editor” on page
7-5 ). If you want to change the keyframe’s location on the timeline, you can type the
frame number or time directly in this field and press E NTER , or drag the keyframe along
the property channel.
4. Set the keyframe values:
• Use the C
APTURE check box to set the property’s value from a specific point in time
on the output device (see “Capture” on page 7-6 for more information).
Or,
• Depending on the property, either type the value directly in the text box (if you know
the exact value desired), or select/clear the field’s check box (see “Keyframe’s
Property Value field and Current Value button” on page 7-6 for more information).
Or,
• Use the C
APTURE button to set keyframe values from the scene (see
“Keyframe’s Property Value field and Current Value button” on page 7-6 for more
information).
5. Set the I NTERPOLATION field, which determines how the animation will transition from
one keyframe to the next.
Select from the I
NTERPOLATION drop-down list: C ONSTANT , L INEAR , or H ERMITE (see
“Keyframe Editor” on page 7-5 for more details).
6. Optional: Set the L OOP parameters.
Enabling and setting the Loop parameters allows you to repeat the property’s behavior
that led up to the key frame starting at a particular point and for as many times as
specified (see
“Keyframe Editor” on page 7-5 for more details).
