Previewing Video

When previewing a composition's video on a broadcast monitor, you can work with multiple Players.

To preview video on a broadcast monitor:

1. Open a composition.
2. Create, import, or link to material that is RGB or RGBA.
   Tip

   If the material is 16 or 32 bits, you can convert it to 8 bits by using a display modifier in the Player or by adding a Convert Depth node to the process.

3. Click the Player which contains the video you want to display on the broadcast monitor.

   The Player displays the image generated by the tools in your dependency graph.

   Note

   Manipulators are not shown in the video preview.

4. In the transport controls, press Play to play the composition.
