That's what I am talking about. 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.

go to your previews panel and toggle from loop to ping pong to PLAY ONCE :)

Anyone else think some kind of RAM rendering indicator for clients-supervised sessions would be useful?  With a preference to turn it off of course.  The info box indicator seems too subtle for clients.  And they seem to constantly get confused about what is rendering and what is not. I start to feel like a parrot.

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. This behavior is fine for me most of the time.  But it often confuses clients.  Would be nice to have a checkbox to have the playhead start at the beginning and stop at the ending of the work area.

Or is it just my clients?
