Display at project size Displays the Video Preview window at the size specified on the Video
tab of the Project Properties dialog.
Simulate device aspect
ratio
Displays square pixels in the Video Preview window even if the Pixel
aspect ratio setting in the Project Properties dialog is using
nonsquare pixels (DV).
This switch will turn on/off square/non-square interpolation, allowing
faster playback and viewing flexibility when drawing video frames to
the Vegas Pro Video Preview window.
When you are performing pixel-critical editing (such as chroma
keying or precise track motion/cropping), leave this preference
turned off. Turning on square-pixel interpolation will scale the
image and can potentially hide some detail when it combines
pixels.
Background color Determines the color of the Video Preview window's background.
