You can preview your animations in your banners by clicking the Play icon button, and pause the timeline at any point by clicking the Pause icon button. You can also restart the animation playback from the beginning by clicking the Restart icon button.
Click or drag the time ruler above the banners to scrub through the animation. The shared playhead lines up with the timing tracks across banners. You can also scrub from a banner header wherever its time ruler is shown.
Use the zoom controls to inspect a shorter time range, then drag the blue scrollbar handle below the ruler to reach another part of the animation. Click Fit to return to the whole timeline. See adjusting animation speeds and timings for navigation and editing controls.
With the ruler focused, use Left or Right to seek in 0.1-second steps, or hold Shift for 1-second steps. Home jumps to the beginning and End jumps to the end.
Loop a work area
Open Timeline Settings → Timeline tools to repeatedly preview one part of the animation.
- Enter the In (seconds) and Out (seconds) values for the section.
- Enable Loop preview.
- Close Timeline Settings and click Play. Playback returns to In whenever it reaches Out. If the playhead is outside the work area, Play starts at In.
To set a boundary visually, close the settings panel, move the playhead, then reopen Timeline tools and click Set In at playhead or Set Out at playhead.
The ruler highlights the work area. Restart returns to In while loop preview is enabled. Disable Loop preview to resume normal playback, or click Reset to clear the range. Scrubbing remains available across the whole timeline.
The work area is kept for the current editing session. It only changes preview playback; exports still use the full configured timeline. Work-area-only export is not part of this feature.
