Thank you for the clarification!

This is actually a known issue, and the fix is currently scheduled for out next release of 2.03.  
In the meantime, there’s a temporary workaround available here:  
[Animation Preview No Longer Works (2.03.08 - 5.5) - #8 by Leah\_FMOD](https://qa.fmod.com/t/animation-preview-no-longer-works-2-03-08-5-5/23039/8)

Hope this helps!
