Just as a great photograph may demand manual
camera control, LightWave setups with nuanced model motion and interaction require
manual keyframing.Manual keyframing is vital to superb timing in your animations, and
while you can??™t develop that overnight, a few practice animations can get you started.
A good way to work is to turn off the Auto Key Create option in the General Options tab
(press o) and work only with Auto Key enabled.While it??™s not necessary to do, the Auto
Key adjusts existing keyframes without the need to create them again after any changes are
made. If there are no keyframes already created, either manually or with the Auto Key
Create option previously enabled, no keyframes will be created automatically. This way,
if you accidentally move the timeline, you won??™t create unwanted keyframes, destroying
a precisely placed item.
So, here??™s how you can think of it: If there are already keyframes for a Layout item, working
with Auto Key on at the bottom of Layout will automatically record and keep any
changes made to that item, at that frame. If Auto Key Create is off in the options panel,
changes made to an item that does not yet have a keyframe will not be recorded.
