Playback Navigation
The Playback Navigation Area is located at the bottom right of the Clip Editor. It can be used to play and preview the current animation clip. All of these settings have no influence on the exported animation clips and are only for preview purpose.
Playback Navigation Area
UI Element | Description |
---|---|
Defines the frame at which playback should start. Can also be adjusted by moving the first white arrow in the Time Ruler (see Time Ruler). | |
Defines the frame at which playback should end. Can also be adjusted by moving the last white arrow in the Time Ruler (see Time Ruler). | |
Defines the speed at which playback should be playing (x0.1 - x5.0). The value can be adjusted by left clicking at the field and dragging the mouse left or right. | |
When enabled playback always starts from the beginning of the clip, when disabled playback starts from the current frame cursor position. | |
When enabled, stopping playback returns the frame cursor to the position where the playback started. When disabled, playback stops at the current frame cursor position. | |
Enables or disables looping of the playback. Note that this is independent of the Loop Clip setting in the Clip Settings. When enabled, the animation preview will also loop when the frame cursor is manually dragged past the last key frame. This changes the way how the tangents of the first and last key of curves are calculated that use the auto/clamped auto tangent mode in such a way that they loop seamlessly. | |
When enabled, the root motion of the animated character is not reset once the playback reaches the end and loops to the first frame. If root motion is not enabled in the current animation clip, this setting has no effect (see Root Motion). | |
Sets the frame cursor to frame 0. | |
Decrements the frame cursor by 1. | |
Starts/Stops playing the clip backwards. During playback, the Clip Editor and the Pose Editor are set to read only mode. | |
