Setting up the preview monitor
Program and source monitors may be set up in various ways:
 Each monitor can be adjusted in size. This can be accomplished by clicking
the screen with the right mouse button and selecting the desired size from the
context menu, either from the presets submenu or self-defined ("Other
resolution").
 Each monitor may be freely positioned. To do so, click on the top bar of the
monitor window and drag it with a held down mouse key to the desired
position. This may be a separate monitor, for example, where you may
maximize the window.
 With the "Display play time" option you can create a large time display on the
program monitor. This displays the current position of the playback marker.
You can set up foreground and background colors as well as transparency of
the overlay in the context menu.
Fullscreen view
The option "Video monitor fullscreen" in the context menu maximizes the
monitors. Alternatively, you can simply double-click on one of the monitors or
select the desired monitor with a mouse click and press Alt + Enter.
You can also shift the monitors in full screen mode and access the context
menu (right mouse button). There, you can also hide and display the transport
control, apart from the regular entries.
Tip: Using the "Edit video effects" option in the context menu you can display
Media Pools effect settings and edit effects directly inside the fullscreen
display.
"Esc" returns you to the normal view (or click on "smaller" button to the right in
the fullscreen mode).
Movie Overview
The option "Movie Overview" in the "Window" menu enables an overview of the
entire Arranger. All objects in the Arranger will be displayed in the program
monitor. The overview display is especially recommended for work with long
movies because the reduced overview in the program monitor and the zoomed
detailed view in the Arranger present a good combination.
The movie overview can be used for moving around in the movie and for
editing certain parts:
