User Manual

Once you’ve created a Flipbook Preview within a particular viewer, right-clicking that viewer
presents Flipbook-specific commands and options to Play, Loop, or Ping-Pong the Flipbook, to
open it Full Screen, to Show Frame Numbers, and to eliminate it.
TIP: If you want to create a Flipbook Preview and bypass the Render Settings dialog by
just using either the default setting or the settings that were chosen last, hold down
Shift-Option while you drag a node into the viewer. The Settings dialog will not appear,
and rendering the preview will start right away.
