Understanding keyframes

- As you start to position the camera…it's important to understand what's actually happening,…particularly if you're gonna keyframe it.…Let's say we have a lens here.…If I grab those arrows on that lens and I drag…I'm changing both the position and point…of interest for the two node camera at the same time.…This means that as it moves up or down…it's moving both the physical camera…and what it's looking at in a very linear fashion.…On the other hand, you can keep the point…of interest the same, pointed at your subject,…but move the position of the camera so it swings.…

Or keep the camera stationary and just animate point…of interest for moves like points and tilts.…All of these will combine to create more elaborate moves.…It's important that you understand these properties,…the difference between position and point of interest,…in order to keyframe.…Let's take a look here at this particular view.…I've got it set and what I'm gonna do is twirl it down…and add some options.…Make sure adjust the magnification…so you can see all of the edges.…
