In addition, a progress gauge is shown in the background to show the
playhead position and warning colors as playback nears its end.
Hint: When LiveMatte, Proc Amp, or Crop settings are active for a source, the configuration gear gadget for a
viewport is color coded and shown full-time.
SECTION 10.7
PROGRAM MONITOR
The
Program Output
monitor could hardly be more
important, hence it’s prominen
t default location at
upper-right on the
Desktop.
Normally,
this viewport shows what the
Switcher
is
sending to
Program
output at any moment. The
display includes the
BKGD
video layer as well as any
other video layers (such as one or more
DSKs,
or
FTB
) displayed above it.
Note: By default, Program output is sent to the
MIX 1 output, subject to assignments made in the
Output Configuration pane. When you move your
mouse pointer over the Program monitor, a
Configure button (gear) appears at lower right.
Clicking this button opens the Configuration panel
(see Section 8.2).
SECTION 10.8
LOOK AHEAD PREVIEW
Again, by default, the
Live Desktop
also prominently displays the
Look Ahead Preview
monitor (labeled simply
Preview
).
The
Look Ahead Preview
is versatile and powerful. Instead of
showing just one video source (the
Preview
row selection), it
displays what the outcome of a
Take
operation applied to all
currently delegated video layers would be.
•
Delegating the
BKGD
layer
indicates you intend the next
transition to swap the
Program
and
Preview
layers. The
Preview
monitor
will show the
Preview row
selection as
its background.
•
When the
BKGD
is not delegated, that layer will not change during a transition. Consequently, in this
case the
Preview
and
Program
monitors share identical backgrounds.
