Key list table

This table contains animation data; i.e., key names for Camera Path and

LookAt Path, Time, and Twist, as shown in the Animation Editor example

above.

In the example, A_B and A_B are corresponding points; one on the

Camera Pat

h and one on the LookAt Path. The animation must reach this key

after 15 seconds (Time = 15). There is no rotation (Twist = 0) around the viewing

axis.

The Twist value can be greater/smaller than +/-360°, which means more than one

complete rotation.

To edit any value in the table, double-click the item (Camera Path, LookAt Path,

Time, or Twist) you want to edit.
