Playing Animation

To play back animation:

1.

If it's not displayed, open the Play Controls Toolbar by right-clicking on any toolbars and selecting Play Controls.

2.

Set the desired frame range. This plays only a subset of the animation.

3.

To skip to a particular frame, type the frame in the frame box.

4.

Set the playback mode in the dropdown. This can be:

• Loop - keeps looping through the animation (start to finish).

• Bounce - keeps looping back and forth through the animation (start to finish, then backwards back to the start).

• Stop - plays the animation once and stop.

5.

Set the frame rate.
