# Previewing movies

As you create a Captivate movie, you can preview it. This enables you to see your movie the way viewers will see it.

Tip: In Storyboard view and Edit view, you can preview just the current slide and the next slide by pressing F6 on the keyboard. This is a great way to check your work quickly as you edit slides.

#### To preview a movie:

1. Open Captivate.

2. Open the Captivate movie you want to preview.

3. On the toolbar, click Preview and select one of the following options:

Play this slide: Select to preview only the current slide.

Movie: Select to preview the entire movie from start to finish.

From this slide: Select to preview the movie from the currently opened slide to the end.

Next 5 slides: Select to preview the current slide and following four slides.

In Web Browser: Select to preview the movie in your default web browser (i.e., Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera, etc.).

Captivate generates the movie and displays the movie in the Preview window.

Tip: You can also preview a single slide using the Timeline.
