Preview / Live Area
When you open a new document, only the Live area displays. The Live area shows what
is broadcast to your viewers before the encoding or compression.
When AutoLive is off, you can make several changes without your viewers seeing the
change. This is most useful when you are using an engineer to run your broadcast.
When you are making changes to your broadcast, you may want to see those changes
before broadcasting them. Preview allows you to do this.
To see the preview, select Preview from the Layout menu. This sets up the Main
Window with Preview on the left and the live broadcast on the right. Clicking the Go
button makes the Ripples shot become Live.
