CyberLink PowerDirector

Preview Window

While creating your video production, preview it in the preview window using the

available player controls.

Preview Player Controls

With the player controls you can preview your production as you edit, including

playing your project from the current timeline position, or pausing and stopping

playback.

Click the Clip button to play back only the clip that is selected in the timeline, or

Movie to play the entire video production. When viewing media in Clip mode, the

cross hairs and grid lines/TV safe zone (if enabled) are visible to help with the

placement of the selected clip in the video display area. When in Movie mode,

these options are hidden.
