Podium Walker still automatically interpolates the camera path between keyframes, the only real difference is that Podium Walker will pause on each view for a designated period of time. T (Tour animation) - Tour animations work almost the same way. This yields a very nice fly-through effect that can work very well as an end product.

Two Options - K and T - The primary difference between the two path options is in the way that Podium Walker treats each keyframe in your animation path. Pressing either of these icons will convert your keyframes into an animation path. When you've selected more than one keyframe, you'll notice that the K and T icons in the preset panel will now be available to you (these are grayed out by default). To do this, shift + select all the keyframes you want to include in your animation. Once you've finished setting keyframes, you'll need to convert them to an animation path.
