Question on Blender UI

posted to: Dolly Zoom Exercise
Hi Wayne, Hope you well. I am very new to animation. Refer to your clip in 3:10min, about enabling the “Auto Keyframe Insert Keying Set” button. I used Blender 3.6.0, and find the whole section “Auto Keyframing” missing. I completed the exercise without the enabling the button and it seems working? My question is that if the section been relocated or removed completely? Lastly, through your training, I pickup some camera skill. Thank you. Note: I tried include a screen dump of my Blender screen but this "Content" box did not allow.

    Hi Keswick kchow ,

    Part of that menu has been moved to the Auto Keying Button:

    Hi Martin,

    Thank you.  I find it now.  So it was there!

    I did the exercise without checking the "Only Active Keying Set" and it still works!  I hope to find out why?

    You can share screenshots of your UI to see what you have enable. Because you may not have enabled any of those options, like active keying set, but you may have enabled the auto-keying itself button and that would've automatically inserted your keyframes. So for example, you enable that button with the circular dot in the middle which is the Auto-Keying, which automatically inserts a keyframe, so keyframes are going to automatically be inserted anyways. The other options like Active Keying Set, Layered Recording  are to refine that automatic inserting of keyframes.

    Hi Omar,

    Yes, I did enabled the button with the circular dot, but did not realized the pull down next to it contains the "Only Active Keying Set" check box.

    Screen dumps attached to share my UI in Timeline.

    Thank your for your help.  I will move on to learn more about general animation features in blender.
