play range button not working

[kem]

Suddenly, mysteriously, the play range button at the bottom of the screen isn't working and neither is the "home" or "end" buttons on the keyboard. Tried a reset settings and toolbar - nope, tried rebooting computer - nope, not sure what to try next... Anyone ever have this problem before? If so, what fixed it?

Lessee... you do have a Chor window open and selected, right? That has to be true for the play button to not be ghosted.

Yes. I have a character, I've created a few poses with keyframes. It's only 60 frames long, I selected the play range button, and nothing. On my keyboard I selected control/home and that worked, control/end also works. Just tapping end from 1st frame does not work. I can press + & - to go thru frames one at time, but it will not go in real time so can evaluate my animation.

I opened a previous project and all is well. Somehow, somewhere in my current project, I must have made an adjustment or something that caused this, but I am at a loss as to what it might be. Seeing how I haven't progressed very far (60 frames) I may just start a fresh project and see what the brings.

This seems to have worked. I have no idea what happened in the previous project... and I hope I don't repeat it.

Sometime Play will just jump to the last frame and stop.

 

Try selecting a different object in the Chor or none at all.

I tried that as well, it didn't work. My new Chor/Project is working fine. I have no idea what happened with the other one, I'm just thankful I wasn't further along than I was. In case I haven't mentioned it, I really appreciate your support.

Another possibility is that your play range somehow got set to zero frames long.
