Using the Playback Buttons
You use the playback buttons, shown in Figure 16.4, to view the current animation. They are located in the lower-left corner of the main window. The playback buttons include the following:
Previous Keyframe: This button moves to the frame where the previous key-fame is located.
Rewind: This button rewinds the animation back to the first frame.
Step Back (left arrow): This button moves the animation back one frame.
Play/Stop (Spacebar): This button starts the animation at the specified frame rate. The button changes to a Stop button when an animation is playing.
Step Forward (right arrow): This button moves the animation forward one frame.
Jump to End: This button jumps the animation to the last frame in its range.
Next Keyframe: This button moves to the frame where the next keyframe is located.
