Previewing and Analyzing Video
As you work in Vegas® Pro software, you can preview your video by using the Video Preview window or by connecting to an
external monitor. You can optimize previews by adjusting preview quality, prerendering video, or building a dynamic RAM preview.
The Video Preview window also provides features such as safe area overlays, grid overlays, and isolated color channel displays to
further enhance your productivity.
Understanding the Video Preview window
The workspace for editing video can get quite crowded, so the Video Preview window can be configured in a number of ways to
make it more useful. The Video Preview window can be used on a separate monitor or Windows display (if your video hardware
supports this feature), docked at the bottom of the workspace, or floated freely on the screen.
Button Description
Project Video Properties Displays the project’s properties. For more information, see Modifying project
video properties on page 284.
Preview on External
Monitor
Sends the preview out to an external monitor. This only functions if your
hardware supports this feature.
For more information, see Preview Device tab on
page 419.
Video Output FX Opens the Video Output FX window for adding video effects plug-ins for the
entire project.
For more information, see Applying video effects on page 303.
Split Screen View Turns split-screen previews on or off. Split-screen previews allow you to split the
preview window so you can see your affected and unaffected video or your
video and the contents of your clipboard at the same time.
Preview Quality Changes the preview resolution and display size. You can choose a lower
resolution to drop fewer frames during playback. Choose an Auto option to
display the preview at the current Video Preview window size; choose a Full
option to display the preview at project size.
Note:
If your project properties are set to either the Blend or Interpolate
deinterlace method, you will not see the effects of deinterlacing in Draft and
Preview quality preview modes. Deinterlacing only occurs in the Good and
Best quality preview modes.
Overlays Options include safe areas, grids, closed captions, and individual channels.
