Synopsis

autoKeyframe [flags]

With no flags, this command will set keyframes on all attributes that have been modified since an "autoKeyframe -state on" command was issued. To stop keeping track of modified attributes, use "autoKeyframe -state off" autoKeyframe does not create new animation curves. An attribute must have already been keyframed (with the setKeyframe command) for autoKeyframe to add new keyframes for modified attributes. You can also query the current state of autoKeyframing with "autoKeyframe -query -state".

Return value

int Number of keyframes set.
