Animation Preview is a tool for generating active viewport animation renders using the scene's current frame range. It creates these previews without permanently altering the scene's established output paths or file format settings. The tool includes options to embed scene audio, hide viewport overlays like gizmos and selection outlines, and temporarily disable the Simplify feature during the preview render. Users can configure the add-on to automatically play the resulting video file upon completion. An optional progress display allows for mid-render cancellation, though this specific mode temporarily overrides standard output settings.
