  • To Sync or not to Sync

    If I need to verify a piece of media, I will double click that media in the project window. When I scrub over the project media my main comp also tries to sync up and than takes forever to draw out. (I try remember to turn my main comp to wireframe to avoid the massive delay.4k comps)
    I need my comps and precomps to have the sync option active, but all the media in the project window not to sync to related items. Project media needs to be independent to view and verify items.
    Any thoughts.
    It would be great if AE had a way to play blast or had an independent viewer.

    Hm. I thought it was independent, being a Quicktime viewer. Opt-double-clicking may be dependent.

    Oh, well. Try Caps Lock to prevent comp redraw?

    Caps lock will disable my viewer and comp window.
    I am in AE7 in winXP. I loved how AE would launch the QT viewer in the old days, I have never gotten it to do it with this set up. Is it possible?. I am working with image sequences though. I have tried a combo of alt double click, ctrl click, no dice.

    Anyone got any ideas. I have an image seq in my project window. When I launch it, the image seq is loaded into my viewer window. My comp window will also sync up to it. Not what I want. All I want is to launch the file to quickly look through.

    Win XP AE7

    Thank you
