You also can fine-tune the animation by using the Animation Editor (Figure

2.11), which allows you to define special keys and place them on the paths. A

key defines the place on the Camera Path, the target on the LookAt Path, the

Timestamp, and the Twist of the camera. Using the Animation Editor, you can

also:

• Control the time frames

• Set the “World Up” direction

• Switch to “Loop Mode”

• Turn on real-time rendering

• Define the frame rate

For further information, see also “Animation Editor” on page 60.
