offset of 5 and selected the Follow Master option, the view always displays
the frame that is five frames ahead of the frame currently running in
global time. If you deselected Follow Master, the view always displays
the frame that is five frames ahead of the frame running in the local time
of the view.
Update on Play Updates the proxy at each frame when you play the
composition. Deselect to update the proxy only when you stop playing
the composition, and only at the scrub frames when you scrub through
the composition.
5 Set the Frame Rate options.
Play All Frames Plays all frames in the composition, regardless of
whether it maintains the frame rate set for the composition. Deselect to
have the view maintain the frame rate for the composition, at the expense
of dropping frames where necessary.
User Lets you set the frame rate at which you want the view to play
the composition.
Stop on Drop Stops playing if a tool is dropped into the dependency
graph.
Layer Editor
The Layer Editor gives you another view in which to perform compositing
tasks with Reaction. It shows all layers for the currently selected Reaction node
in your composition. Layers are displayed as rows in a table format and are
stacked in the order in which you create the layers. You can choose to show
or hide columns in the table, as well as show/ hide layers in your composition.
