Setting the Frame Rate for Playback			Synchronizing or Separating Playback between Views
Chapter 6, The Player

In a Player view or in the fullscreen Player, you can set a Player preference that determines whether real-time playback has priority over a playback that includes every frame or vice-versa. Real-time playback is also influenced by the hardware on which you are running Toxik, and the load on that machine at the time you perform the playback.

Note: You can set the real-time playback preference for the fullscreen Player only if you entered it through a Player view.

1. In the Player view or fullscreen Player, middle-click or press the tilde key (~) to display the Gate UI and go through the south gate.

2. In the Player options, select the Playback tab and locate the Frame Rate area.

   

3. Set the real-time playback preference.

   Play All Frames -- Select this button to play every frame, regardless of the impact on real-time playback. Deselect to have the Player view drop frames if necessary to perform playback as close to real-time as possible.

   Note: A busy cursor appears in the lower-left corner of the Player when Toxik is processing the composition during playback.

4. If you want to Player to stop playing if a tool is dropped into the dependency graph, select the Stop on Drop button.
