I started playback of an animation, but I cannot figure out how to stop playback. When I press the "stop playing" button, animation continues. No other buttons respond. The cursor in the Dope Sheet continues to loop, every 500 frames or so, and then starts over. I tried hitting Escape, clicking on the button that has the pause symbol, etc, but playback continues and I cannot do anything else with the application. How do you stop this thing?

The pause button is used to stop the animation. ;)

That's the button I kept pressing, but playback continued as if I had not done anything at all. The button would not acknowlege the mouse click (by showing indentation/inversion of color) at all. It's like tS wasn't listening to UI input once playback started. That's why I wondered if there was another way to stop playback, when the obvious and customary way didn't.

Hmm... definitely sounds odd. Are you having that problem for all scenes or just a specific scene? You may want to log into the forum so you can post attachments and post the scene or a video of the problem.

Another possibility could be that you're clicking play in Model side, then trying to stop it in Workspace side or vice versa... :confused:

If your using workspace then try clicking on the anim view on the bottom left and it will bring up options on the right hand plane once there you can stop repeat.
