computer-generated animation, although rendering
can also refer to the process of creating final
animation frames.
• Render Animation Ctrl-F12: Render the animation
of the active scene.

 Timeline
• The Timeline gives the user a broad overview
of a scene’s animation, by showing the current
frame,
 keyframes
• Keyframes are the important frames which
contain information of a start/end point of an
action.
• A keyframe tells you about two things; first, it
tells you what the action of your frame is at a
certain point of time; second, it tells you what
time that action occurs.
