Playing back your painting (PB only)


    Use the Playback Mode pop-up menu in the Effect Controls window to specify when and how quickly your strokes appear in your composition. When you draw strokes, Vector Paint records information for the stroke start time and the drawing time of each stroke (in real time). The Playback Mode you select determines when a stroke starts and for how long it appears. You can set the speed at which the strokes play back using Playback Speed.

    Play back your strokes using the Spacebar or RAM Preview, or by viewing the results of a rendered Composition.

    Note: Regardless of how you record your strokes and which Playback Mode you select when recording, you can always switch to another Playback Mode at any time.

    While the Playback Mode chosen affects what you see during playback, it also determines what you see while you are drawing strokes. Onion Skin mode, for example, is used primarily while drawing strokes, and then another mode is selected before rendering.

    Important: Notice the position of the Time Marker when you begin drawing strokes. This position affects the appearance of strokes in all modes except All Strokes.
