Has anybody found an easy and convenient way for keyframe animation of jit.gl.object attributes (e.g. camera position and rotation)? - Or can someone share an example how to set a breakpoint in a clip envelope in Ableton Live via M4L?

A keyframe editor is an essential tool in most 3D programs like Blender or Touchdesigner

, but it lacks a lot of convenience features.

. It is good for syncing audio to jitter-animations and allows binding to a hardware controller like Push, but there is no simple function that allows to set a set of current parameters as a set of keyframes at a single timepoint - you have to start recording and it will create additional unintended keyframes, messes up your clips etc.

Of course you can set or edit points by hand, but this is not how you normally design 3D scenes - normally you adjust several parameters by number boxes or moving objects by handles and then write the keyframes by a simple click.

I found no thread that explains how to access Live’s automation via M4L - looks like it is impossible

.... [In the LOM documentation it is left unclear wether you can write the automation of a parameter without active recording

Next on the list would be to use Touchdesigner and OSC to communicate with Max…., but in the end everything I tried so far resulted in unsatisfactory workarounds that do not offer the required convenience

Access to Live’s automation via e.g. Javascript would be a great improvement, although Live still lacks an overlayed automation curve view….

I tried to use Max’s mc.function https://cycling74.com/forums/mc-function-scrubbing-triggering-and-convenience/replies/1#reply-5c1cc3bc44b97c19f0d1b492, but it lacks a lot of convenience features.

A more advanced example for keyframe editor usage - natural camera motion in Houdini / Blender:

It would be a huge improvement if Max had a keyframe editor - something like [mc.function] that is coupled to the [pattrstorage] architecture in combination with a recording functionality.
