Hello!
I think Im running into some small version differences (using 4.1), but I want to make sure it's not just a setting problem.
- When I hit "I" or select Insert Keyframe from the Object menu, the Insert Keyframe menu doesn't pop up. It does, however, seem to automatically set the keyframe to location.
- When I open up the channels menu, I also see keyframes for Euler Rotation and Scale for all three axis'.
- When I adjusted the position of my camera, it also recorded that in the animation. I turned auto-keyframe off and it stopped doing this.
In 4.1+ I just keyframes the channels that are set in the preferences or keying set. K now shows the old insert menu and shift+K allows you to set a keying set. You can also set the keying set by clicking keying in the timeline editors header and changing it in the popup.
Yes, all of that has changed in the new Blender versions. Instead of "I" it is "K" as Dwayne says. But don't worry, after you are done with the Blender Basics, what follows is the Blender Fundamentals, and the animation course is up to date with Blender 4.2, so you'll learn the new hotkeys and other goodies that has to do with animation.
