Sliders
You can use two sliders in the timeline view:
Time Slider The black vertical line is the time slider, representing the current
position in the playback. This can be adjusted by either using the VCR controls
on the Animator toolbar, by dragging the time slider left or right in the
timeline view, or by selecting the time slider in the timeline view and using
the left and right arrow keys. As the time slider is moved, the model in the
Scene View updates to reflect movements caused by keyframes in the current
scene as if the animation were playing back.
End Slider The red vertical line is the end slider, representing the end point
of the current active scene. It is hidden if you selected the Infinite check box
for the current scene in the tree view. By default, the end slider is set to the
last keyframe in the scene and can’t be moved. You can switch on manual
control of the end slider in a scene by right-clicking the end slider, and
choosing Manually Position Endbar from the shortcut menu. Then,
manually adjust the end slider, by dragging it left or right. This end marker
will be used as the animation end point when scenes are set to loop or
ping-pong.
