  • Previewing on timeline doesn’t work anymore

    Posted by Alangarrec on May 18, 2007 at 8:52 pm

    When I drag across the timeline by moving the bar at the top it no longer previews the movie while I’m dragging it, it will only update once I’ve let go of the mouse button – this is a real problem when I’m trying to apply effects – cos I can’t see what impact changing various values is having until after I’ve done it. Eg I can’t gradually change things till they look right.

    If anyone knows what I’m doing wrong – no matter how simple please let me know.

    Cheers.
