KeyFrame
Step 1 - Select the Cinematic tab from the skills menu
Step 2 - Select KeyFrame
Step 3 - Fly to your first keyFrame location
• Adjust the drone and camera position
Use the KeyFrame skill to create cinematic aerial shots by capturing continuous, complex video with smooth camera
motion. KeyFrame flights can be flown repeatedly, with varying degrees of complexity, subtle camera moves, speed
adjustments, and obstacle avoidance. Set up your sequence by adding up to 100 keyframes in 3D space. KeyFrame
uses the visual navigation system and does not rely on GPS. To use KeyFrame:
NOTE: Placing your initial keyframe close to your Launch Point will improve the accuracy of your flight path. KeyFrame
paths set far away from your launch point may be less accurate.
X2D will begin at the last KeyFrame added and fly through your sequence along the spline until it reaches the first
KeyFrame added.
• Edit or Add KeyFrames to your sequence along the spline at anytime
• Press the red X button in the top right to return to the Manual flight skill
