Auto Keyframing

Automatically detect changes and insert new keyframes on animated channels

PreviousToolbarNextPlay Controls

Last updated 3 months ago

When Auto Keyframing is enabled, any changes made to objects or components, such as in the Inspector or Scene view, will result in a new keyframe being added at the current time. This can be useful when animating objects to have keyframes set automatically simply by moving an object or setting a value.

Use the shortcut key Alt + K to toggle Auto Keyframing. This option is also available in the main menu in Tools/Timeflow/Animation, or by clicking the record icon in the toolbar.

Use the shortcut K to set a keyframe for selected channels when Auto Keyframing is off.

Auto Keyframing works by listening for changes on any animatable property channels. New values are only detected when the the Timeflow view is not playing and there are no drag operations taking place.

Some behavior and channel types do not support auto-keyframing, such as Blend and Flyby, since they are procedural and auto keyframing isn't applicable.
