Hopefully it's helpy.
Most time I set up animaions via Chor-Window,
because I like to know wht's going on behind the scenes.
Sorry for bad english in advance.

Subject: some questions about animation
Hi all,
Still working on the fruit animation... maybe I'm missing some obvious
features.
A few problems that make it extra laborious:
- I can't see more than one keyframe at the time in the view window. This
makes it hard to hand-animate the objects, because you have to play time
back and forth again and again to see what you did... is it possible to
make more than one frame visible simultaneously? I remember V3 had such a
feature.
- Again and again I forget to switch on or off the Record button. When
editing a keyframed object while it's off, I lose the keyframes at the
time bar but they are still there in the choreography window. Especially
when I'm a bit tired it's a pain! It would help if it flashed or something
while recording.
- I had to make some of the shots a few seconds longer. I dídn't want to
affect timing of the keyframes that were done, so I chose not to scale to
timelines. But I'd like to strech the parent choreograph without
stretching the keyframes: I just want to add new keyframes in the extra
time without affecting the existing ones. Now I have to append a new
keyframer - still not sure if this is going to work. Not sure if this is
clear...
The list is not complete but enough for now, TIA,
-Mark H
