Hello,
I created an animation using a template. Is it possible to animate the movement of the sun in the template animation?
If so…how to animate the sun.
thanks and regards
Hi @Albareus,
Generally you can keyframe the sun, but keyframing the sun or other environmental parameters (rotated HDRI or set a different sun position) may cause spotty or flickering in the rendered video, so it’s still not recommended. 
Hi Vera_Hsu, thanks for the quick reply. As I wrote, I used a template to create the animation. I don’t see any way to set keyframes for the sun. Can you please send me a screenshot and show me where I can do that?
Thanks in advance and best wishes
One more question…
How can I set the rotation to “Ease In Out” in the animation? As soon as I click on the timeline below, the rotation is “Linear” again
In the same camera position, add two shots at different times of the day, and keyframe the environmental parameters, and the effect will be ready. In the same camera position, add shots with different solar parameters.
You can adjust the position of the sun by adjusting Azimuth. You can also adjust the position of the sun by time.
How do you operate? I don’t seem to have this problem you’re talking about here, can you talk me through your procedure? It would be great if you could show me a video. Let me see what the problem is.
Thank you for your answer. I used a template (Spiral Pan) for my animation. I couldn’t use 2 separate scenes here. I think I would have to set the sun at the beginning - update the image and then set the sun again at the end and update the second image. That should work.
As for the second problem…
I create a simple animation from a template (e.g. Spiral Pan). Then I click on Clip 1 (1.). Then I set the rotation to “Ease In Out”. As soon as I press play, the rotation is set back to “Linear”. So how to save my “Ease In Out” setting?
Maybe these settings don’t work with the templates?
Sorry for the confusion, I checked with the team and the camera positions created using templates don’t support adjusting the Movement, it defaults to Linear. It is only adjustable when not using a template.
