Using Playblast to playback an animation

Playblast allows you to preview an animation by calculating the separate frames and playing them back in a multimedia player window based on the Playblast options. Playblast provides a more accurately timed playback than using the Timeslider.

To playback the animation using Playblast

1. Select the path curve, and then select Display > Hide > Hide Selection to hide the curve while you Playblast.
2. Select Window > Playblast.

   Playblast calculates the frames for the animation and then plays them back in the player window.
