Previewing animations at a constant speed

The Real Time Preview command skips frames if necessary to preview animations at a constant speed. For example, at the beginning of an animation, only one object might be moving, whereas later in the animation numerous objects might be moving. A preview of the animation might slow down when it encounters the more complex part of the animation. Real-Time Preview maintains the speed of the preview by skipping some of the frames of the animation.

To maintain an animation's speed while in Preview mode:

1. Choose View > Real-Time Preview.
2. Click the Preview Mode button  at the bottom of the toolbox, or choose View > Preview Mode.
3. Click the Edit Mode button  to exit Preview mode.
