Changes in how you view clips make it easier for you to work in Backdraft Conform:

• The viewing options in the View box have been reorganized to make it easier to scan from the options available for your viewport selection. Note that if a hotkey exists for a view, it is displayed beside the option in the View box. See Displaying Clip Views and Multiple Viewport Categories.
• When displaying views in multiple viewports using hotkeys, you no longer have to select a viewport first. You need only place the cursor over the applicable viewport and press the hotkey.
• You can now use the broadcast monitor as another viewport. See Working with Viewports and a Broadcast Monitor.
• You can now use the Ctrl+spacebar+up arrow and Ctrl+spacebar+down arrow to zoom in and out of the image window in modules. (Press spacebar and drag to pan the image window).
• When displaying images from the Primary and Secondary tracks simultaneously in the Player, you can now select which layer of each track to display. See Comparing Tracks and Layers.
• The Compact FX option has been removed from the library and from the timeline’s Edit Mode box.
• A new Image Data Type setting in the Preferences menu allows you to set the default image data type for all modules.

  There is also a local Image Data Type setting now available in the View menu of the Sparks editor (including the EditDesk Sparks editor, the Batch FX Sparks node editor, and the Soft FX Sparks editor) allowing for greater control when dealing with various image types, including 16-bit floating point support.

  For information on the image data settings, see Image Data Type.
