Creating keyframes in Set Key mode
- [Instructor] Set key the manual creation mode for animation key frames. It gives out a little more control than auto key. But it takes a little bit more setup in advance. In this scene I already have position key frames on the camera. Let's take a look at that. I'll play in the timeline. The camera is moving across the room in a slight arc. Over five seconds. I'll stop that and rewind. Let's add some rotation keys also. Select the camera in the top view port and we can use the rotate tool. I don't have any key frames for rotation just yet. So I want to keep this framing on the first frame frame zero. I want to create a rotation key on frame zero and I want to make sure I'm key framing in the correct axis. I'll switch over into gimble coordinate system and examine my scene and it looks like the axis I want to rotate around is Z. And that's what will be recorded in my animation channels. I can then edit that curve in the function curve editor later. Okay so we're going to create a key…
