And down here we have these tools where we can rewind, we can press play, pause, back a frame, frontwards a frame, previous key frame, next key frame, and all sorts of other timeline and key frame-related buttons. You can click and scrub by dragging anywhere so you can see your animation and you can see which frame you're on. Right underneath the viewport we have this timeline-looking thing which is actually called the power slider. It's the equivalent of your main composition view in After Effects, and in it you can see what you are making. The big window that takes up most of your screen is called the viewport.

Look at these little dots here, and if you call any of these menus, you can see there's a dotted line. This serves as a 'Don't panic' button when you destroy your interface. The first thing I would like to show you is the layout menu. If you are one of those users that play tutorials just to have some background noise or to fall asleep, you can skip this one. This way, you will feel comfortable watching the rest of the tutorials. Let's begin our journey into the magical world of Cinema 4D Lite by taking a quick tour of the default interface.
