Ok, I’m almost afraid to ask this but I’ve been looking trought the manual and didn’t found the answer, so if anyone knows who to do this I’ll really appreciate your help.
1.- On the “View Buttons”, the one called “Do Sequence”, exactly was is it supposed to be?
2.- Maybe related to #1, On the File menu, what is “Save Videoscape”?
3.- Not exactly related to the interface. When you do an animation pre-view (Alt+A), is there any way to save what you see there as a video file. I know that I could render the materials as wireframe, but what about lamps and bones. One could use a Screen-Capture programm and grab every single frame by hand, but there must be a way for Blender to do it. (If not, add it to the Blender’s wishlist).

If you use the sequence editer, you click this button and it will render the sequence timeline thing instead of just your animation. If you’ve go t the manual you can find out more about seqencer your self.

it is a file format-- I think for vr or something-- nothing important if you are just doing animation etc.

It is actually possible to save an animation preview.
To do so, SHIFT-click (clicking it will render the current frame) the icon in the 3d-window to the left of the ‘start game’-icon (the purple head). It uses the settings of the Display-buttons to save the animation.
That is one of the most overlooked useful feature existing in Blender.
That one my first weekly Blender Tips a long time ago.
Maybe I should come up with a page FULL of Blender tips?
well I’m not very helpful then am I- oh well- yesterday I accidently pressed ctrl z instead of alt z (potato mode) - if you press ctrl z you get real time lighting display-- exactly what it looks like when it is rendered-- without textures-- but helpful
