Resuming Key and Setting Default Key for Camera

There are two features in the Camera Editor panel, the Resume and Default Key buttons, which help you a lot when you want to retrieve the status of the camera.

Resuming Key

When you want to discard your current modifications to the camera movements and go back to the last saved status, you may use this method:

  1. Double-click on the desired camera key to invoke the Camera Editor panel. Please note that the key in our example already contains offset data.
