Preview Quality

Click , select Preview Quality, and then a preview quality from the list (Full HD*,

HD*, high, normal, low) to set the resolution/quality of the video used when

previewing your movie in the preview window. The higher the quality you select,

the more resources that are required to preview your video project.

Note: Full HD and HD preview resolution are only available when the Ultra

version of CyberLink PowerDirector is installed on a 64-bit operating

system.

Preview Mode

CyberLink PowerDirector provides two modes you can use to preview your video

production:

Real-time Preview: synchronizes and renders clips and effects in real-time,

displaying a preview of your video at the specified frames per second. See the

timeline frame rate option in General Preferences for information on setting

the correct frame rate for your production.

Non Real-time Preview: mutes the audio and displays a preview at a reduced

speed to help make editing go more smoothly. Useful when editing high-

definition video, using multiple PiP tracks on a less powerful computer, or

when you receive dropped frames when previewing. By muting the audio and

slowing down the video, CyberLink PowerDirector lets you view more frames

per second when your computer has trouble providing a smooth preview

during editing.

Note: you can also preview a portion of your video using the Render

Preview and Produce Range options. See Range Selection for more

information on these functions.
