Playing animations
While you are working with an animation, you will often want to see a quick live preview. You can 
drag the time slider back and forth to slowly preview a part of the animation in the fractal window. If 
the fractal is not too slow to calculate, you can also play a real time preview in the fractal window.
Click the Play button in the 
animation bar
 to start or stop playing a preview of the 
  animation, or click Play on the Animation menu.
While playing the preview for an animation with multiple 
layers
, Ultra Fractal gives some layers more 
priority than others. The active layer is calculated with the highest priority, and then the other visible 
layers are calculated from top to bottom, with the editable layers first. To speed up the preview, you 
can temporarily hide one or more layers.
The preview is always played at a constant frame rate, independent of the frame rate of the 
animation. Click Options on the Options menu and then click the Fractal tab to change the 
  Animation preview speed. Higher values give smoother animation, but allow less time per 
frame, so individual frames will show less detail. The best value depends on the speed of 
your computer and the complexity of the animations.
Notes
G     
Playback will not work well if the 
drawing method
 of a layer is set to One pass linear. Use 
Guessing or Multi pass Linear instead.
G     
To create a final movie clip of your animation, or to create a quick preview movie, 
render
 it 
to disk.
