Use the preview and timeline to check animation, choose an export range, and set the data range used by range-dependent graphics.
Control preview playback
- Press Space to play or pause.
- Drag the playhead to inspect a specific time.
- Use the zoom controls to zoom in, zoom out, fit the preview, or show it at 100%.
- In Source Composite, use the source preview to confirm that graphics align with the video.
Set the timeline range
- Move the playhead to the first required frame.
- set the in point with the range control or press I.
- Move the playhead to the final required frame.
- Set the out point or press O.
- Confirm the displayed duration.
When the timeline has focus, the Left or Right arrow keys nudge the playhead by five frames, while pressing Shift+Left or Shift+Right nudges the playhead by one frame.
Rebuild range-dependent graphics
Choose "Rebuild data graphics from range" after finalizing the in and out points when a template uses automatic min/max ranges, cumulative values, or range-relative paths. Rebuilding can change the scale or starting value so the graphic represents the selected segment rather than the complete clip.
