Panel Properties
This panel, located on the bottom of the playback module, you will find the following resources:

1. Information about the animation. Specifically, the name of the scene and the total number of frames that form, in other words, the sum total of every frame was drawn.
2. FPS Control. We can define the speed of the animation, using the parameter frames per second (FPS: Frames Per Second, in English).
   Tip: The larger the value of this field, the faster will be the animation and the smaller, slower will look.
3. Repeat option. This small selection box represents the ability to play our video indefinitely. That is, if we leave it enabled and press the Play button, the animation is repeated over and over until we decide to stop it.
4. Export option. It allows us to make our animation project in a video file. For a better understanding of this feature, take a look at the section "Let's create a video file".
