What's the best way to animate the FOV of a camera? I want to zoom slowly from a tight view of the background opening to a wider view.


I thought I'd be able to key frame this as simply as I can other camera moves - if this is so then I'm missing something!


Any suggestions from the animation gurus?

#1 position camera and set initial view
#2 select auto record function
#3 set final frame of animation
#4 scale camera to final view

Thanks Hultek - I'd already tried that and couldn't get it to work.


I figured it out though - with the camera selected right click the Set Keyframe button to open the Keying Panel and activate the FOV Keyframes and away you go!
