connected to your computer, click the button and then select Dual Preview*
to extend your workspace and preview your project on a secondary display.

first enable extend desktop to a secondary display in the Windows Display
Properties Settings. * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the
version table on our web site for detailed versioning information.
Once enabled, when you click play in the preview window, you can preview your
production on both your primary and secondary display when Primary 2D and
Secondary 2D Display is selected. Select DV Camcorder to extend your production
preview to a connected DV camcorder device.
3D Dual Preview
When your desktop is extended to a secondary display, you can enable 3D on one
of the two devices. If you want one of your previews to be in 3D, select either
Primary 2D and Secondary 3D Display or Primary 3D and Secondary 2D Display to
enable it. Your selection depends on which device you want to enable, and which
one supports 3D.
Note: if both of your displays are 3D devices, you can only enable 3D on one of
the two devices in dual preview mode.
Zoom In/Out
When you place media on the timeline, use the Fit* drop-down underneath the
preview window to zoom in or out on the video. Zooming in is useful for precise
placement of media, while zooming out lets you add media that begins off screen.

our web site for detailed versioning information.

Click the button to undock the preview window. Once undocked, you can
preview your production at full screen or move it to an extended desktop. You can
