+Long films now play smoothly deep into the timeline, because the preview only does work for what is on screen. Cloud downloads resume after a dropped connection, and check, inspect and renders get going faster.

+- **Core:** The preview keeps playing in time when its tab is hidden ([b168d0b41](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/b168d0b4138cb578c07f21e12441c8302a217308), [#5872](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5872)).
+- **CLI:** A cloud render download that loses its connection picks up where it stopped ([cea0bad79](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/cea0bad7931122bd93680006978c0d9007daa3d4), [#5873](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5873)).
