To render a RAM preview of your project in the Canvas:
1 Click the Play button (or press the Space bar when the Canvas or Timeline is active).
The preview renders each frame, then runs through the preview in real time.
2 Stop the preview by clicking anywhere in the Canvas.
The Play icon turns into a Pause icon when the RAM preview is playing. The Loop
button is a toggle that gives you the choice of a single run-through or repeating the
preview in a continuous loop.

more about previewing your work.
