Using Playblast to playback an animation
Playblast allows you to preview an animation by calculating the separate
frames and playing them back in a multimedia player window based on the
Playblast options. Playblast provides a more accurately timed playback than
using the Timeslider.
To playback the animation using Playblast
1 Select the path curve, and then select Display > Hide > Hide Selection to
hide the curve while you Playblast.
2 Select Window > Playblast.
Playblast calculates the frames for the animation and then plays them
back in the player window.
