Preview Your Movie
Before you commit your movie to disc, it’s a good idea to preview it
to make sure all of your clips and effects are working to create the
movie you want. It is highly recommended that you preview your
movie at least once before production so you can solve problems
without spending time unnecessarily in production.
Preview Your Movie in the Preview Window
You can preview your movie at any point during the editing process
in order to ensure that your editing is going smoothly. Using the
Timeline slider, you can preview your movie production from any
point within the Timeline.
Note: When previewing clips in the workspace, ensure that the
preview window is in Movie mode. If the preview is in Clip mode, click
the Movie button before previewing your movie production.
1. Click the Movie button in the preview window.
2. Locate the point at which you want to begin your preview. You
may do this in one of the following ways:
• Drag the Timeline slider.
• Drag the preview window slider.
• Enter a timecode in the timecode box.
3. Press Play. The preview starts from the point you have specified.
4. Use the playback buttons to control the preview.
