    Auto Keyframe

    Auto Keyframe detects when a parameter value has changed from the previously set keyframe, and only adds animation channels for those parameters that have changed. This can be useful to avoid creating unnecessary static actions.

    Auto Keyframe can only be used after a keyframe has been set at least once using Set keyframe or Set keyframe at, as it requires an initial parameter value to compare to.
