I love that an animator can step forward and backwards through the animation. The 'slide to animate' bar below the animated clips is very useful as it allows you to isolate and study a particular arc or path of action. Moving your finger left and right, slowly or quickly, advances or rewinds the action. Being able to study the animated examples without having to load up a DVD on another device is amazingly useful. Now it is obvious that this is the way to view and learn from the animated examples. "--Rob Coleman, two-time Oscar nominee, Animation Director on the Star Wars prequels.
