‌Actual-Speed Playback

Once you have your shot playing back as rapidly as possible, you probably want it to play at the desired rate, typically 24, 25, or 29.97 fps.

You can tell SynthEyes to play back at full speed, half speed, quarter speed, or double actual speed using the items on the View menu.

SynthEyes does not change your monitor display rate. It achieves your desired frame rate by playing frames as rapidly as possible, duplicating or dropping frames as

appropriate (much like a film projector double-exposes frames). The faster the display rate, the more accurately the target frame rate can be achieved, with less jitter.

With the control panel hidden, you should use the space bar to start and stop playback, and shift-A to rewind to the beginning of the shot.
