Previewing assets in Xplorer
Previewing cel animations
Previewing a cel animation asset in Xplorer opens an independent preview window
(figure
5-2 ), which features a slider that allows you to manually playout the cel animation,
as well as viewing the contents of a particular frame.
The preview window’s title bar identifies the name of the cel animation and the length of the
cel animation (total number of frames). When you move the slider, the title bar identifies the
exact frame location that is being displayed.
