Flick area spin boxes or by dragging the control points in the bound-

Preview image, place your pointer in the center and drag.)
When flicking through a specific area on the frame, it is a good idea to

preview image.

Performing a preview
Apart from performing flick previews, you can also perform standard
previews which create a preview file. To do this, first define your preview
options by clicking the Preview Options button on the Standard toolbar
or View: Preview Options. Once the Preview options have been defined,
drag over the Preview bar on the Filmstrip panel, a blue selection line
appears, and select the frames you want to preview. When ready, click the
Preview Selection button or View: Preview

Note: Using the Navigator, you can also step through each frame in the sequence
as well as preview the entire clip by clicking the Preview button.
Managing preview files
You can quickly check on how much space your preview files occupy by
clicking File: Preview Files Manager. This opens the Preview Files
Manager dialog box which displays every preview file for each project you
have created previews from. You can see how much disk space your
preview files occupy and choose whether or not to delete them. You
should delete them if they reference a project you have already deleted or
no longer use.
