Selecting an Animation Frame

All current animation frames are displayed on the Time Slider at the bottom of the interface, as shown in Figure

number in the field to the right of the Time Slider.

Setting an Animation Range

Below the Time Slider is the Range Slider, as shown in Figure 1-28. Using this slider, you can focus on a

specific range of animation frames. The Time Slider changes as the Range Slider is moved.

Playing an Animation

To the right of the animation frame value are several controls for playing, rewinding, and moving through the

animation frames, as shown in Figure 1-29. Using these buttons, you can jump to the animation start (or end),

step back (or forward) one frame, step back (or forward) one key, or play the animation forward (or backward).
