System information
Tips:
n If you want to emphasize frame rate during preview, right-click the Video Preview window and
select Adjust Size and Quality for Optimal Playback. When the command is not selected,
video quality is emphasized, and the frame rate will be reduced if necessary.
n Select the Use project output rotation setting check box on the Preview Device tab of the
Preferences dialog if you're rendering a rotated project and want to use the Output rotation
setting from the Project Properties dialog for previewing your project.
When the check box is cleared, the media is rotated according to its Media Properties setting,
but the Video Preview output is unrotated—you can use this setting to proof your project on an
unrotated display.
For more information, see "Creating Rotated Projects" on page 65 and "Preferences - Preview
Device Tab" on page 585.
Edit video properties for your project
Click the Project Video Properties button to display the Video tab in the Project Properties dialog. Use
this tab to adjust the video format of your project.
For more information, see "Setting Project Properties" on page 53.
Preview on an external monitor
Click the Preview on External Monitor button to send your video output to the device specified on the
Preview Device tab of the Preferences dialog.
