The fact that it pops back to the = original playhead position once done playing once (or initially pops = from the playhead before starting) is confusing to many clients. For instance, yesterday I was working with a client on a series of 5 = seconds animations. I had to place the playhead at the beginning of the = timeline to show the client the first part of the animation via RAM = preview. Then place the playhead at the end of the timeline to show the = client the end of the animation via RAM preview. What would be helpful = is an option to play from beginning to end without popping to or from = the initial playhead position. Of course I could just render the animation out to Quicktime and = playback that way. But it wastes time.

With reference to non-looping RAM preview playback: even if you have the = playhead at the beginning, the playhead pops back to the beginning at = the end of the preview.

Or is it just my clients?
