This video will cover a major new improvement to Action known as the Live Preview Viewer.

This is a pixel-based “What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get” viewer and will give you accurate representations with all Action processing effects including lighting, anti-aliasing and motion blur.

So even when working in Action, everything you see is actually the final render. This has major implications for all aspects of Action.

This also allows for icons in the context view and timeline views.

Please note that the old 3D view no longer shows any shader or processing effects, you need to be looking through the Live Preview in Smoke 2017.
