NOTE
Refreshing an already existing thumbnail cache file can be done only from within the Pool.

The thumbnail cache file is generated in the background so that you can continue working with
Cubase.
Preparations for Video Playback
You can play back imported video files from within Cubase by using the transport controls.
For this to work, you must activate and set up a video output device.
IMPORTANT
Your graphics card must support OpenGL 2.0 or higher.
Video Player Setup
The Video Player setup page in the Studio Setup dialog allows you to set up your video player,
and to check if your video equipment allows for video playback from within Cubase.
To open the Video Player page, select Studio> Studio Setup and activate Video Player in
the Devices list.
The following options are displayed:
1 Device
Lists the video output devices that are available on your system.
2 Format
Allows you to select an output format.
NOTE
The Onscreen Window device only supports a fixed format.
3 Offset
If the video image does not match the audio, you can enter an offset value in milliseconds
to specify how much earlier the video should be delivered. This compensates for the
display delay. The offset is only used during playback. It is saved globally for each output
device and is independent of the project.
4 Active
