Previewing
Video Editor offers real-time previewing for your projects. With this feature,
you can instantly see how filters and effects you apply look on your video.
You can then make the necessary adjustments when needed.
When you want to preview your work, press [
Preview Window. If your project is long, this could take some time. Often
you will only want to preview part of your project, for example, a few
seconds of a transition sequence or an overlay effect. There are three
different ways to select the portion of your project you want to preview:
• Create a preview area on the Preview bar over the Timeline. The cursor
appears with a little filmstrip icon under it when over the Preview bar. A
blue bar indicates the period for preview. A right-click on the cue bar will
delete the preview range.
• Use the Preview window to create a preview range. Use the Trim
handles to define the preview range. This is also represented as a blue
line, both in the Preview window and on the Preview bar above the
Timeline.
• Click Edit: Preview Range and enter specific timecode values to define
the preview area.
After selecting the preview range, click the Play the Preview Range [
] button to begin the preview. You can change the size of the Preview
BAR
window by clicking on the Preview Window Menu button, then selecting
Frame Size List, and choosing a predefined size from the list that appears.
Instant Play
Instant Play lets you quickly see the changes you have made in your project
in the Preview window. Simply click the Instant Play button or access it in
