Playing back camera view

[David_Fine]

When I chose to play back in camera view, the scene changes size. That is, I have my scene reduced in size so that I have space around it for panels, but when I playback in camera view, the image pops to fill the entire black area, which means under all the panels. This makes it hard to see the scene. Is there a way to view in camera view mode, but maintaining the image size on the screen?

Yes you're right : when playing with camera view enable, it automatically fits the window area, even if "auto fit" is disable.

A little bit

Yeah, it is related. Basically, better control over the playback would be good. Any chance of that?

Another related question. When the scene is not playing, I can see the camera position, but when I play, depending on the view mode, I either get the enlarged camera view, or I get the entire scene, without any reference to the camera. That is, the camera frame lines disappear while playing. Is there a way to maintain those lines while playing back so that I can at least see the frame lines as a guide during playback?
