  • Keyframe won’t record animation?

    Hello everyone,

    I’m having trouble recording animation. In object mode, with the scale parameter selected, I keyframe>scale>keyframe a sphere. Keyframes show up but scrolling back and forth between them shows no animation. The sphere retains the last size I’ve scaled it to.

    I find the same situation occurring when I try to keyframe scale using the Record button. It adds a keyframe but whenever I change scale at a different point in time it just uses the same value for every keyframe. To get it to work add your keyframes using the object’s Attributes window: Command click either the Radius in the Objects menu or the X,Y,Z scale values in the Coordinates menu.

    I am no expert, so I don’t understand why the Record button is not recording the scale values. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on this.
