Trimmer Window Animation

Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why frames in the trimmer window only animate when I am playing at a speed which is not 100%. That is, the frames animate when I play in slo-mo, or fast-mo, but not at normal speed.

Thanks,

marks

right click inside the trimmer window and choose that you want it to display in the Preview window. I'm assuming that's what you're looking for?

Hey Spot,

No, not quite. When focus is in the Trimmer window, if I go slo-mo or fast-mo, the frames in the trimmer-window itself actually animate, as if they are playing the video. But at normal speed, nothing happens.

I had noticed this previously, but started checking it out a little further after the last SCS e-newsletter, and the suggestion of making it a single frame so that it would replicate the interface of the likes of Premiere Pro etc, with two displays (one for the main video, and one for the preview - not that I particularly want to use tht set-up).

Still, I am curious as to why it only appears to animate at anything other than normal speed.

I have turned on "Animate video frames in trimmer" in the Preferences->General, and turned off "Show Video in Preview Window" in the Trimmer right-click menu.

Still interested to know if this should work at normal speed.

Thanks,
