Unless I'm missing something I can't see how to play an animation all the way through without having to render it out first. I am aware that I can jump to each frame but this isn't the same actually seeing it play all the way through.
A friend seeing me using the particle effects asked it it's possible to use particle effects from other programs in C3DPS & could the effects in C3DPS be used in other programs? I guess is that these wouldn't work but I said that I would ask.

Hi Old Timer,
Each time you press play, a render occurs. However unless you have the quality set to best, and alot of animation going on, it shouldn't take that long to render a preview. If you set the Loop (the circled arrows on the Navigation Bar) on playback, then the second time through will be played in real time.
The second question regarding particles, yes they could be used in your video production. In fact you could import the video as background video,you want to use your particle effect in. Then setup your particle effect, and see it with the video.
Then you could either:
1). Render or output your project as a 32 bit AVI, which uses the alpha channel, or in other words renders a transparent background. Thus the video you imported would not be rendered in this, just the particle effect, as an avi. You can then bring that into VS9 on the overlay track. OR
2). You could render it as a standard 24 bit AVI, thus including the background video, which would have the particle effect.
It's really a very powerful tool for video editing. The particle effects are really a powerful part of this program...
Hope that helps ya!!
