Title: corona light colour animation
Post by: daveclive on 2018-11-14, 17:18:55

Hi,

is it possible to animate the colour of a corona light?
I am creating a keyframe on different frame using 2 different colours at each point but there seems to be no change, it just stays at the last chosen colour.
Creating a keyframe on the colour button seen in screenshot

Am I doing something wrong?

Works for me - create Corona light, enable Autokeying, move to frame, change light color, keyframe created and can scrub through the timeline to see the changes.

Yeah it should be that simple but for some reason it's not working in this scene

Were you using Autokeying? Haven't tested manually creating keyframes, but autokeying worked fine for me :)

Thanks Tom.

Sorted now, autokeying solved it. Manual keyframing didn't register

TY, good to know! Could be that manual keying ought to work - but at least it's got you up and running now :) (That said, I always use autokeying for animations, but that might just be me lol)

That's interesting that autokeying works, good to know. I reported that manual doesn't, I believe it's fixed (or in the process) and should be included in a future release. ;)
