Script/Scriptlet/Plugin/ANYTHING to add a condensed preview bar?
I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to get a condensed version of the preview bar. I’m constantly changing my preview quality, skipped frames etc as I’m constantly jumping from really heavy comps, to light ones.
The built in preview panel is unnecessarily big. And I’d love to free that space up for something else.
I’ve tried setting up buttons in Kbar2 to run the menu command ID’s, but changing the preview quality requires a dropdown menu, which causes issues, so I haven’t been able to get it to work properly. (The menu ID’s for preview resolution are the same as the ones for comp viewer, so inputting them directly just changes the comp viewer resolution).
Does anyone know of a script, or any way at all, to just show the ‘Skip’ and ‘Resolution’ dropdowns? Or have buttons with modifiers that will control quality and skipped frames?

The first control in the Preview panel is for “Keyboard Shortcut.” This allows you to assign a configuration of different preview options (skip, resolution, etc.) to different hotkeys.
Once they’re assigned, you can actually hide the Preview panel entirely and just use those different keystrokes for your different preview options. Maybe Spacebar for normal Ae behavior, NumPad0 for classic RAM preview behavior, Shift+NumPad0 for reduced resolution/frame-skipping, etc.
There are a total of 7 different customizable preview shortcuts. Maybe using these would eliminate your need to change preview settings on the fly?
