Insert object into the project

Data selection using the preview monitor

You can view and cut your footage in the preview monitor before importing. There are
various buttons on the transport console (view page 40) for this. There is a preview
function for most of the files in the Media Pool.
• Use the playback button to start the preview of video or image objects in Media
Pool. A preview is also provided for special objects like titles or transitions.
• Audio files from the Media Pool can also be previewed via the playback button.

Full-page view of image
• The option "full screen" in the context menu maximizes the preview monitor.
Alternatively, a double click on the monitor or press "A + Enter" to maximize the
window. The fullscreen view is especially recommended for working with two
screens; one screen for the film preview, and the other for the project window.
• You can also shift the monitor into full screen mode and access it via the context
menu (right mouse button). There, you can also hide and display the basic
transport controls.
• With "Esc" you will go back to the normal view (or click on "smaller" button to
the right in the fullscreen mode).

Show movie overview
The option "Film overview" in the "Window" menu enables an overview of the entire
project window. All objects in the project window will be displayed in the program
monitor. The overview display is especially recommended for work with long movies
because the reduced overview in the program monitor and the zoomed detailed view
in the project window present a good combination.

The film overview can be used for moving around in the movie and for editing certain
parts:

• When you click on a certain object in the video monitor, the project window will
zoom on that object.
• Using the mouse, you can draw a frame in the video monitor – and the
corresponding range will be zoomed in the project window.
• When you move the playback marker in the video monitor, the project window
playback marker will also move correspondingly.

Tip: If you use this option very often, you can use the keyboard shortcut (Shift + A).
