Preview on a TV monitor

You can preview the movie on a TV or video monitor by using many camcorders or analog-digital converters

(digitizers). The Project Settings dialog box contains options for previewing through a DV device. It is important to

have the hardware correctly configured before choosing these settings.

Note: M

ake sure that the TV or video monitor is connected to the camcorder or analog-digital converter. In addition, ensure

that the device is properly connected to your computer, typically through an IEEE 1394 port. Set the device to output analog

audio and video to the monitor. Some devices will detect a monitor automatically, while others require you to choose a

menu option. (See the documentation provided with the device for more information.)

1 Choose Edit > Project Settings > General.

2 In the Realtime Playback section, select these options:

• Select the Desktop Video Display During Playback option if you want to preview through the Monitor panel and

your TV monitor. Deselect this option if playback through the Monitor panel is jerky.

• For External Device, choose the option that matches the camcorder or analog-digital converter you’re using to

drive your TV monitor.

• For Aspect Ratio Conversion, choose Hardware (If supported).

• Choose External Device Audio to monitor sound as well as video through the TV monitor. This option keeps the

two in sync on playback.
