Use the View options to display images from two video tracks simultaneously. The tracks can be stereo or mono. You can select which layer of the track that you want to display. You can view the two tracks in a split screen. Alternatively, the two tracks can be viewed as a transparency blend or with a clamped or non-clamped difference. The two tracks viewed are the Primary and Secondary tracks.
If you are working with a clip containing a stereo track, you can select how you want to preview the stereo results.
To compare Primary and Secondary tracks in the Player:
(a) Preview Setup box (b) Primary Video Track field (c) Secondary Video Track field
In this example, layer 2 of video track 1 is assigned as the Primary track and layer 1 of video track 2 is assigned as the Secondary track.

Blend | Set the percentage of the Secondary track to display. For example, if you specify 60%, the image is composed of a blend of 40% of the Primary track and 60% of the Secondary track. Set a value in the Blend field or press Shift+T and drag left or right. |
