2 ?'s 1.Animation is not playing in Preview!

[swangray]

Hello all,
1. I have animated a short opening and when I go to preview to see it all play out it does not play or it plays for a half a second and then its done without playing the whole animation. Each time I change something it starts in different places. I make sure that time line is set in the begining so I just don't know why maybe you can help me understand why thing could be happening.

2. I am also doing close up camera zoom into the characters which is making the background and everything push outside the window's border could that be what is wrong with the preview and how do I camera zoom and stay within the borders?
Thank you!

did you make sure that you changed the number of frames to make it include all the keyframes?

And regarding your second point...are you using layers that are rotated around their Y or X axis? If you move/zoom the camera around layers rotated into 3D, they move in exaggerated ways (because parts of them are so much closer to the camera).

Your best bet is to upload the file somewhere so a forum member can see what's happening.
