    Hello people,

    I was wondering if it is possible to NOT press the ‘alt’ key if you want to see a preview while you move your time ruler.

    For example:

    If i move my time ruler on the time line just with the cursor i can only see a preview when the time ruler stands still. If i hold ‘alt’ and then move the time ruler i can see what happends while it’s moving. Is there a way to also be able to see what happends when your moving the time ruler without pressing alt.

    N.B. This is not only with the time ruler, but also with every parameter i want to change like scale, position ect.

    Thanks in advanced!

    Allright, too bad then.

    I’ll have to live with it i guess.

    Thank you!

    Ooow I’ve just founded a way!

    On top of the timeline there exists the Live Update setting which can be switched on and off. It was off on my project. So i turned it on and now it works fine 🙂

    Thanks anyway.
