Stop Timeline

Post by Neoranma »

I noticed the other day while I was doing some work that my timeline somehow was moving merrly along as I was doing some drawing, shape fille, etc. Although it was kinda neat to see my drawing take shape in animation, it really isn't what I wanted at all. So I copied pasted all the keyframes back to frame 0, then deleted everything.

I just noticed I was doing it again! The last time was a pain enough, that I just closed and reopened the thing.

I'm pretty sure I'm hitting some shortcut, but I have no idea which shortcut I'm hitting. Also since I did't have my timeline window open, so I only realised this time, because of the sublte shifting of my vectors (first time it wasn't playing, this time it was).

If you are in fram 0 and hit the spacebar nothing should happen in the timeline,
but from frame 1 onwards hit the spacebar and the timeline starts running,
hit again and the timeline stops (if you’re working in your workspace when
the timeline runs you’ll create a lot of keyframes).
This is a very handy shortcut for checking or adjusting animation or keyframes.

Cheers
