How to animate FOV in Workspace please? // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by weaveribm // Aug 14, 2007, 6:18am weaveribm Total Posts: 592 I love the new Workspace animation desk but I can't get the camera FOV to animate As in- how to change the camera focal length on-the-fly for zooming? Very comprehensive controls, I read the PDF and tracking the camera around works fine. Then I move the scrubber forward, change the camera FOV, the camera FOV changes in Workspace but nothing happens in playing/scrubbing the track back. I know about the right-click on the Record button to see er, things :) and I make the- wait let's present this professionally :) Keying Panel that's it The FOV field I tried toggling it to orange and back, still nothing changes from the camera POV in the track playback Thanks in advance for any help offered!

It also has a red record icon on the line. It is not necessary to have the orange tag filled in. - Set a keyframe (record). - Move the animation scrubber to a new frame, change the FOV for the camera and set a new keyframe. This should animate the FOV. The bit that catches people out is they open the keying panel and click the orange shield - this does not make the attribute active to be animated, that only occurs when you click on the text and the line becomes white.

Beautifully smooth :) Thanks very much Bobbins! Peter
