Play Preview Animation

Opens the Windows-standard Media Player to play the current preview animation.

  • Default menu: Tools menu > Preview - Grab Viewport > Play Preview Animation
  • Alt menu: Rendering menu > Screen Capture > Play Preview Animation

When you use Create Preview Animation, by default 3ds Max stores the output preview in a file called _scene.avi. Play Preview Animation this file into Media Player. If you want to keep the preview file, use Save Preview Animation As to save the preview under another file name; otherwise, the next Create Preview Animation will overwrite _scene.avi.

The Media Player has its own Help system.
