Through this module you can take a look at your project as you build it. With this resource, you can detect which points of your animation needs adjustment, add more frames or perhaps change the speed you want it to flow, it all depends on you, remember that you are the director!

Okay, now let's see what are the tools that are part of this module:

=Control Panel= If you've ever used a DVD recorder or a stereo, you probably already know what are the function of this component. That's right, thanks to this set of buttons you can play, stop and return your animation project every time you want, which will surely be many, it is from the continuous and careful observation of your work that you can detect errors in your animation and make respectively fixes, making the result more fluid.

In this panel, located at the bottom of the 'Player Module', you will find the following resources:

• Project Information. Specifically, the Scene's name and total Number of Frames that conform it, in other words, the total sum of every frame was drawn.
• FPS Control. Here we can define the speed of the animation, using the parameter Frames Per Second (FPS). <b>Tip:</b> The larger the value of this field is, the faster you will see the animation and smaller it duration, slower will produce exactly the opposite effect.
• Loop Option. This small selection box represents the ability to play our video indefinitely. That is, if we leave it enabled and press the Play button, the animation is repeated over and over until we decide to stop it.
• Export Button. It allows us to make our animation project in a video file. For a better understanding of this feature, take a look at “Exporting to a video file!”.
