new to animation, HELP!

I am new to blender animation and there’s a problem saving the file. When I save it into my file the next time I opens it it changed to a new blender page with the unanimated cube. Is the saving process any different from the others? Thanks :slight_smile:

No, there’s no difference if your scene contains an animation or not. The keyframes are saved into your file automatically.

As a reminder, the basis of animation in Blender: In Object mode, select your object. Insert a keyframe. [I] --> Location. Move a certain number of frames forwards on the Timeline. Move your object. Insert an other keyframe.

Go back to the beginning. [SHIFT Left_arrow] Play! [ALT A]

[ESC] to stop.

Now you save and when you re-load, [ALT A] will re-play the animation. If it doesn’t… you have a problem. :smiley:
