Previewing Movies

Previewing a movie is an extremely important and useful part of creating a movie. This gives you a chance to see how a movie looks and works without having to build the movie or collection.

You can preview an entire movie or just an individual frame.

  1. Open the movie.
  2. (Optional) If you want to preview an individual frame, open the Frames window pane (View > Frames), then select the frame you want to preview. See Opening Frames.
  3. In the Timeline window pane (View > Timeline), do one of the following.

    • Preview a Movie Click Movie View.
    • Preview a Frame Click Frame View.
  4. In the Frame Editor, press the play button in the preview bar.

Note You can also preview actions and visual states in a frame or movie. See Using Preview Mode.
