TImeline Scrubbing
It would be great to be able to move the playhead in the timeline and see the Doodly at specific frames. This would streamline the creation process by allowing users to see the effect changes have to the movie without having to preview the entire scene.

coming from a video editing background, being able to scrub the timeline would be a very useful feature for me. As more animation features are added to the product, being able to scrub timelines will probably become even more essential.

Agreed. It is also frustrating that it begins from the start each time you preview. And for some reason it continues to play down the bottom when you close the preview. Trying to match my audio with the drawing and proving much much much more difficult that I would have expected. Going to play the audio in media player then combine at the end.

Powtoon actually has a much better representation of this, maybe check it out for ideas?

Also would be great if you could make the time distance on the timeline shorter/longer so you can find frames more easily, maybe that is an option but it's not obvious if it is.

Actually, the continuation of the preview only happens when there is sound, it just keeps playing which is highly frustrating!

And being able to add a new frame where the playhead is in timeline, rather than only at the end...... different issue however as you can't make the timeline smaller it's annoying to have to constantly go to the end to get a new frame

Coming from Adobe After effects and Premier Pro, scrubbing the Timeline from a certain point is a timesaving and essential tool as it allow you to focus in on a small par of your animation. Also I greatly miss being able to set the preview/render window. I don't want to preview the whole video from start to finish every time I want to check part of the animation. please allow us to drag select a section of the timeline to preview
