Basic C4D animation question
Hi all,
Have set up a short keyframe animation using C4d and want to know if there is a way to pause a keyframe for a set number of seconds before the camera moves off?
I basically want the camera to rotate and zoom into a photo in my scene… pause on it for 10 secs, then move off again. Is there a simple way for a novice like me to achieve this?
Many thanks for any advice.

Assuming you already have the camera move animated, scrub to the point you want the camera to stop and record another keyframe. In the timeline editor, select the camera markers for this keyframe, hold down control (mac) and drag them to whatever length you want the pause to last. Holding control will duplicate the keyframe you selected while you drag. Select the two pausing keyframes and change the interpolation to linear. It’ll probably look pretty rough, but if you want to smooth the motion you’ll have to use custom interpolation and toy with the keyframes some more in the timeline.
good luck…

Thanks for that. Ill give it a go and see what the results turn out like.
Cheers!

Somewhat easier method: set a keyframe for the camera at the point you want to hold and change the keyframe interpolation type to “Step”.
