Displaying live video
10. The Both Fields check box allows you to display both fields
of each frame in the video image. If your video has a lot of
movement, it should play more smoothly if Both Fields is
unchecked. If your video is displaying a talking head or still
image it will look more natural if this option is checked.
11. Select the Mirror Video check box to reflect the video
horizontally.
12. The Dither check box allows you to dither your video image
when you are using a display mode with 256 colors (8-bit) or
65 thousand colors (16-bit). Dithered images look more
natural but grainier. If you are using a display mode with
16 million colors (24-bit) you do not need to dither the image.
13. Select the Input Clipping radio button in the Video Control
Panel to display the Input Clipping dialog box, which you use
to compensate for any flickering, break up, or black lines
around the edge of your video image.
Drag the handles in the clipping window or type the values in
the Clipping Offsets from Edge boxes. The offset value must
be positive—it works inwards from the edge of the window.
The effects of any changes can be seen in the live video
window.
