Why does recording an animation not record the initial position of an object? I am doing a simple animation. I click the record button in the bottom timeline and then move objects in the viewport. But somehow the yellow diamond mark ( recorder ) does not appear on 0/1. ie, the Record action won't recognize the initial position. I tried manually &quot; add keyframes &quot; at that point without success.
It would nice if anyone call tell me how to include the initial point of timeline also as a part of the animation.
I think what you are trying to do is 'keyframe'. First select the object you want to animate, press I on your keyboard while your cursor is somewhere in blender viewport and a menu will pop up, select 'LocRotScale' since you are a beginner, ignore the rest.
A yellow diamond symbol will be added on your timeline. (Note it will be hidden if you deselect the object, but not deleted. Select the object again to see it.)
This is called keyframing.
