How to Use Keyframe Animation for SketchUp

To use Keyframe Animation for SketchUp, you need to create keyframes for each object that you want to animate in your scene. A keyframe is a snapshot of the object's position, rotation, scale, or visibility at a certain point in time. You can create keyframes by using the buttons on the Keyframe Animation toolbar or by using keyboard shortcuts.

The basic workflow of creating an animation with Keyframe Animation is as follows:

• Create a scene in SketchUp with the objects that you want to animate.

• Select an object and move it to its initial position, rotation, scale, or visibility.

• Create a keyframe for the object by clicking on the "Add Keyframe" button or pressing "Ctrl + K". You should see a green dot on the timeline that represents the keyframe.

• Move the slider on the timeline to a different point in time where you want the object to change its position, rotation, scale, or visibility.

• Move, rotate, scale, or change the visibility of the object as desired.

• Create another keyframe for the object by clicking on the "Add Keyframe" button or pressing "Ctrl + K". You should see another green dot on the timeline that represents the keyframe.

• Repeat steps 3 to 6 for each object that you want to animate in your scene.

• To preview your animation, click on the "Play" button or press "Spacebar". You should see your objects moving according to the keyframes that you created.

• To export your animation as a video file or an image sequence, click on the "Export" button or press "Ctrl + E". You can choose the format, resolution, frame rate, quality, and file name of your output.

• Click on the "OK" button to start the export process. You should see a progress bar that shows the status of the export.

• Once the export is done, you can find your video file or image sequence in the folder that you specified.
