Slow animation playback solution beginners fix

How to make animation playback in real-time or close to in Blender 2.9?

When I started learning Blender, I struggle to understand why my playback was sluggishly slow. Couldn’t really find a quick solution without having to clicking here and there until I stubble across this switch. Doesn’t make sense in terms of the UI labelling. Anyhow hope this helps for anyone stuck.

1. At the bottom of the timeline, click on the Playback button.

2. Go to Audio, select No Sync and change this to Frame Dropping.
(This will drop frame rates with complex scene for a more like real-time playback)

3. Press the Play icon or Spacebar to play your animation. Your animation playback in blender should now be a lot more smoother in the viewport.


This Blender Guide on Design Sync offers quick tips and tricks for moments when your stuck or need to learn something really fast to get moving. Cater for beginners or people like me who have problem remembering everything inside Blender. Also design for people coming from other 3D software platform such as Maya, Max, Cinema 4D, or Houdini.
