I also find this lack of speedy preview ,for animation, an absolute pain in vue.I've found that the easiest way is to make frame size 320x180 then in user settings deselect almost everything you see and select "only selected objects". This will give bare basic view but you can check your animations for smoothness etc.in a very quick time. I have found this to be helpful when dealing with poser figures in vue.....you can select all or just one of your figures and test movements. All other comments above are extremely helpful.
