Before you render out and save an animation, it's a good idea to preview it at a lower quality. To preview your animation, go to the menu caret -> File -> Preview.

The following image will appear:

This dialog will allow you to set the following parameters:

  1. General Settings
    • Zoom - Increase of decrease the size of the previewed animation.
    • Frames per second - It's a good idea to have a lower number than what the final FPS will be. This will speed up the rendered preview.
  2. Time Settings
    • Begin Time - At what frame or second you want the preview to begin.
    • End Time - At what frame or second you want the preview to end.

NOTES: To use a begin or end time, you must check the corresponding box next to each one. Also, to specify a starting or ending frame, use (f) after the number. For time, use (s).

When you are finished setting the parameters, click Preview. As the preview is rendering, the following Preview Window will appear:
