Subject says it all. Anyone found a work around for this? Any assistance is appreciated. I am new to the software so even obvious answers could be valuable.

I found what I consider an elegant solution to my problem and am sharing it here in case another new user comes here looking for a solution. 

There are those 2 timeline triangles that live above the timeline (as of right now mine are a neon green type of color). If you drag both triangles to the first frame the software considers the whole timeline that 1 frame so you can hit space bar all you want and nothing happens 😉. It is the way I build scenes now!

Happy creating everyone!
