Flight Path

Right-click commands for Flight Path in the Interpretation Tree.

Source resources: IDR_IT_FLIGHTPATH.

A flight path holds three sub-branches — Viewpoints (the keyframes), Scenes (visibility snapshots) and Slides (the presentation deck). Its narration does not appear in the tree: audio clips live on the Flight Path Timeline panel, which opens automatically when a flight path is active. See the Flight Path User Guide.

Item Context Menu​

Durations are computed at the project frame rate, so make sure it matches the frame rate you intend to record at before setting one.
