Key frame not showing up

Hi there, when I select the diamond next to the life time 35 in particle properties, my key frame does not show up in the animation timeline. It also does not  change the values of the lifetime between 120 and 160 on my timeline. Thank you in advance

    Hey Girlwhodreams,

    Does the value of the lifetime in the frame you are trying to change look yellow with a diamond ?

    You light want to tick the diamond first, change your value when the field becomes green and then tick the empty diamond before doing anything else, you'll notice the field is orange after the field value is changed but not saved (that's done when you tick the empty diamond .


    You'll see now in the timeline that the  yellow line (representing keyframes with similar values) will change into 2 little separate diamonds and have the value increase each frame from one little diamond to another.


    Original state: lifetime is 3 form frame 0 to 40


    After change: the first keyframe contains value 3 and it increases from 3 to 10 gradually oer the 40 frames shown here


    Hope this helps?
