How do you enter a keyframe on the timeline? I in trying to see if I can animate a camera using interpolation. :unsure:

have the object you want to have a keyframe for selected and hit the i key

Thank you that worked great. Now I have another question. How do you delete a keyframe? :blink:

um...that's a harder one. I think you can select keyframes in the timeline by right clicking and delete the same way you would an object? I can't check right now, unfortunately.
It should be in one of the animation pages in the manual:

Thank you, I should have downloaded this manual. Especially how much I've been working in blender lately. I probably would learn a lot more, a lot faster. :biggrin:

property key frames can be added by clicking i while the mouse is over the property selector/button that you want to make the keyframe for

Oops, apparently I linked to an old version of the manual, didn't realize they finished updating it in the wiki. For this you should be fine with the old version, but there are a lot of things that are out of date or just aren't in there, so for future reference use the new one.
Main documentation page: http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Main_Page
User guide: http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual
I'll need to fix that in the link list too. I really need to make it so that page can be edited by everyone....
A great resource for newer things is the change logs for new versions, which will tell you how to use stuff that may not have made it into the manual yet.

That was harder. It took me awhile to find it, but I think I found it. You would think that selecting the keyframe and hitting delete, would delete the keyframe, but it doesn't. The way I read it, you need to hit the X key. Here's where I found it:
mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Reference/Windows/Ipo#X
PS. Thank You. :biggrin:

Oh, sorry, I forgot about the x button. I use that most of the time because that's where my left hand is anyway so I didn't even think about that. It is weird that they haven't implemented both though.
