Instant Play
Instant Play lets you quickly see the changes you have made in your project in the
Preview Window. Simply click the Instant Play button or access it in the Preview
Window Menu to enable or disable it.
Since the complexity of a project may vary (e.g. a lot of special effects) in different
segments, you can set the Performance Level (by right-clicking the Toggle button)
to determine whether Video Editor renders a preview file or not when you are
previewing your video clip.
Video Editor renders only when a segment's complexity level is above the
performance level you set. The Performance Level you set should be relative to
your CPU speed.
You may also force a particular segment to be rendered to have a smoother
preview.
To force a segment to render:
1. Right-click on the Complexity bar just below the Timescale.
2. Select Force To Render Segment & Preview. Video Editor creates a preview
file of the particular segment even when in Instant playback mode then
automatically previews the rendered segment.
3. You can also set the preview range by selecting Set Preview Range or force
the segment to render at the same time by selecting Set Preview Range &
Render Preview.
A segment refers to a vertical stack in the Timeline.
