Changing Resolutions for Clip Input or Output
 
 
 

The following steps describe how to change resolution and timing when performing clip inputs or outputs.

NoteIf you are outputting a clip whose timing differs from the preview timing setting in the Preferences menu, the timing and VTR switch are done automatically by Smoke as soon as you select the clip to open the Clip Output menu.

To switch from one resolution to another for clip input and output:

  1. In the Clip Input or Clip Output menu, select the required VTR from the Device Name box.

    When you select a VTR, the current preview timing for the project switches to correspond to the VTR, if necessary.

  2. Change the hardware connections and sync reference to match the resolution that you have chosen. If using a broadcast monitor, connect a valid signal to a reference input to enable a video preview.

Once the input or output is done and you close the menu, you are reminded that the preview timing for the project has changed.
