Record button does not create keyframe

Record button does not create keyframe

Strange: In one document the record button simply does not create a key frame.

I tried restarting Cheetah but no joy. It only happens in one document. If I create a new doc everything is fine.

There seems to be somebody who had the same problem earlier:

Any clue?

Hi Gunnar.
If you set the key parameter to key "hierarchy" like so, it will work as expected.

With kindest regards
Frank

Thank you.

I'm having the same problem. If I key a frame and then advance some frames and make any kind of change and then key that, returning to the original key does not show the unchanged state. I have the same key parameters highlighted blue as in Frank's suggestion.

edit: i worked it out, the object being keyed must remain selected for the entire duration, deselecting seems to kill the original recording

Recording only records the state of the selected object (and, if hierarchy is toggled on, its children).
