Preview Standby Layers When activated, the Stage window will show the same images as the display
computers while in standby mode (that is, any images from standby layers –
see “Perform Normal/In Standby” on page 104). This allows you to edit such
images through the Stage window.
However, in most cases, you probably prefer to see the normal images in the
Stage window even while in standby mode, in order to preview and possibly
edit those while the display computers show the standby images. This can be
accomplished by un-checking the “Preview Standby Layers” menu item.
No / All / Enabled Conditional
Layers
These three menu items control to what extent images originating from condi-
tional layers appear in the Stage window. (See “Condition” on page 104 and
“Enabled Layer Conditions” on page 123 for more information on conditional
layers.) Generally, you want images originating from enabled layers only to
appear in the Stage window, which is accomplished by choosing “Enabled
Conditional Layers”. To preview images from all conditional layers, regardless
of whether or not they are enabled in the Preferences dialog box, select “All
Conditional Layers”.
All / Active / Specific Stage Tiers Just as timeline layers can use conditions to enable/disable their cues (as
described in the previous paragraph), timeline layers can also be associated
with stage tiers. Cues on such a layer will only appear on displays on those
specific tiers. The commands in this group of the Preview menu control what’s
shown in the Stage window in this case. By selecting “All Stage Tiers”, the
Stage window will preview cues regardless of their stage tier association.
Select “Active Stage Tier” to preview cues on layers associated with the tier
