About the Player
 
 
 

You can play clips that you work with on the EditDesk in the Player module.

The Player contains tools for visual overlays and reference views, providing options for monitoring sources, clips-in-progress, and rendered results. In Smoke 2K, you can also apply 3D LUTs to clips in the Player. These tools are available in all module image windows. See Module Essentials.

The Player plays source or processed clips in real time. Some systems may not be capable of playing high-resolution clips in real time. Some soft effects can be rendered in real time. For clips with transitions or stacked soft effects, the Player has a preview option that displays the rendered result on a frame-by-frame basis. Alternatively, you can process the effects for real-time playback.

When working with high-resolution clips, you can view them in the fullscreen Player. The fullscreen Player can display HD 1920x1080 clips at their native size (provided your graphics monitor supports, and is set, to display 1920 pixels across). The fullscreen Player supports most of the same features as the Player.

You can also play clips using the Triptych Player. The Triptych Player provides three Players, side-by-side, that you can use to simultaneously view clips in different contexts. For example, you can set the middle Player to play the clip, the left Player to show the incoming frame of the current element in the timeline, and the right Player to show the outgoing frame.
