Adding Key Frame

[sgcossette]

I am using HD pro 2014. The reference manual indicates I should be able to add a walkthrough key frame by clicking on the add key frame tool, then clicking on the walkthrough path. However, when I do this, nothing happens. The path currently has a key frame at the start and end and will work as a path when I record a walkthrough video, so everything seems to be working correctly except the ability to add a new key frame. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Click the path, click the Key Frame tool, click on the path to place it.

 

I tested in Chief Premier, but should work the same in Pro.

Thanks for the quick reply. I assume you noticed that I put the information you asked for in the message body. Do I need to put it in the signature too?

I agree what you described should work according to the manual, but it does not. When I click on the path after clicking on the add key frame icon, all it does is highlight the path.  I have contacted technical support as well, but I am sure they will classify this as a 'user training issue'.

Just to follow-up. I found the problem, but don't know the solution. When I take a plan created with HD Pro 2014, create a walk-through path from scratch, I can add key frames to my heart's content. However, I was trying to use this feature (for the first time) on a plan I originally created with an earlier version (I think HD 8), which I have been editing with HD Pro for a while with no problem. I created this walkthrough path by drawing a spline and converting it. One or the other of those makes the 'Add Key Frame' feature not work. I may try redrawing the path to see if that works, but I spent quite a bit of time on it the first time!

 

Anyway, FYI
