Timeline preview is slower than real time

[nicolew41455402]

I am new to Animate and I have a reasonably simple question:

Why is it that after I have added all my transitions/animations, and hit play, it doesn't play in real time unless I preview it in browser? Is this a setting I can change? I would prefer to work in the timeline at real time.... it seems slowed to about 3/4ths the speed. I want to watch it in the timeline at full speed.

The editor just runs slower than the publish preview. Nothing you can do but deal with it.

In addition to Clay's answer you can help the playback by going to View > Preview Mode > Fast to help this issue.

I had high hopes for that! But unfortunately, the preview in the timeline did not speed up thanks for the tip to try.

Also try cropping the stage contents and also scaling down the stage size (ctrl + -). This is a real time processing issue so the moe you do to help track time rendering the better. But as Clay mentioned it will almost never play accurately relative to the frame rate set. The higher the frame rate and the more animation happening at the same time,  the more processing it will require.

Best thing is to simply treat the movie in the flash player or editing to video format for testing.
