Recording animation during playback
To animate Scale, Rotation, and Translation, you can record the motion as you drag an object in the viewport. AXEL records 5 keys per second.

An animation sequence appears in the Sequencer.
- Turn on Play and drag the sphere in a viewport.
As you move the sphere, AXEL records its position 5 times per second.
