Playing Back Video
593
• The offset is only used during playback. It is defeated in stop and scrub
mode so that you always see the correct video frame.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
If the quality of the video image is not a critical factor or if you are experiencing
performance problems, try lowering the value on the Video Quality pop-up menu.
Although higher quality settings make the video display sharper and smoother, they
also lead to an increased processor load.

Improving Video Performance
Sometimes, video problems, such as stutters during playback, are caused by
codecs that do not support multi-threading. This can be the case for video files that
use single-threaded decoding, such as Motion-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, and QuickTime
DV codecs. These types of video files are typically created when capturing video
with Decklink/AJA cards.
To compensate for this, you can activate the “Boost Video (Reduces Audio
Performance)” option on the Video Player page in the Device Setup dialog. This
excludes one of the available CPU cores from audio processing and reserves it for
video tasks like decoding and playback. However, this may reduce the audio
performance.
NOTE
For this option to have an effect, you must also activate the Multi Processing option
in the Device Setup dialog (VST Audio System page).
Video Player
The Video Player window is used for playing back video on your computer screen.
• To open the Video Player window, open the Devices menu and select the
“Video Player” option.
Setting the Window Size and Video Quality
To resize the Video Player window and/or change the playback quality of the video,
select the appropriate option on the context menu of the Video Player window.
Fullscreen Mode
The window is enlarged to occupy the whole (computer) screen. If you are
working with more than one monitor, you can move the Video Player window
to an extra monitor. Thus, you can work with Cubase on one monitor and let
the video play back on another monitor. You can exit full screen mode via the
window’s context menu or by pressing [Esc] on your computer keyboard.
