• Resolution pop-up menu: Choose Full, Half, or Quarter as your viewing resolution in the
QuickView tab. This setting is for display purposes only and does not affect the resolution
of your rendered program. At lower resolutions, the preview area plays back faster and
you’re able to cache a greater area of the sequence to RAM.
• View pop-up menu: This pop-up menu lets you choose the window to cache video
from.
• Auto: QuickView caches video from the Viewer or the Canvas, whichever window is
currently active.
• Viewer or Canvas: QuickView caches video from the selected window.
• None: This turns off the QuickView tab so no playback is displayed.
• Play button: Click to begin playback in the QuickView tab. You can also press the Space
bar to start and stop QuickView playback.
• Range slider: Use this slider to define the duration of your sequence that is cached by
QuickView, from 2 to 10 seconds.
Note: If both In and Out points are defined in the Timeline, this slider doesn’t appear.
• Scrubber bar and playhead: In the QuickView tab, the width of the scrubber bar
represents the total duration of video that is to be cached.
