About Keyframe Tools
Keyframe Tools is a Blender extension (version 1.0.7) that lets users insert, delete and move keyframes for object rotation, scaling and translation. It is designed to link an object or other parameter to the active camera, making camera switches easier. The add‑on includes view‑locking for mouse‑driven camera movement, a compact keymap panel that keeps the timeline clearer, and displays track‑constraint influence values. A real‑time animation operator shows changes to those influence properties as they occur. Compatibility requires Blender 4.2 LTS or newer, and the software is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 or later.
