I had the grid hidden, and unhiding that gave me another fps, bringing me to 13. when i am not playing the animation i get like 40 fps, but when I play the timeline, BAM! 13 fps. FUUU UCK!
thanks Target_Renegade, there is hundreds of goodies i know that are nicer than this one i was writing a book of 13 chapters, wrote 3/13, but was afraid that it makes no good sales, i don't think kickstarter would work for that... one example is realtime filters
