Tha= t's what I am talking about. The fact that it pops back to the original= playhead position once done playing once=A0(or initially pops from the pla= yhead before starting)=A0is 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 beginn= ing 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 init= ial playhead position.

Of course I could just render the animation out to Quic= ktime and playback that way. But it wastes time.

Or is it just my clients?
