Working with Video in Soundtrack Pro
Resizing the Video Tab
You can detach the Video tab and resize it (to any size, up to filling your entire screen).
To resize the Video tab:
1
Detach (undock) the Video tab by clicking the tab at the top of the video frame and
dragging it from its pane.
2
Drag the resize control at the lower-right corner of the Video tab until the tab is the
size you want.
Using Video Output Devices
You can connect an external video output device to your computer and play your
project through the video output device. This can be especially useful in cases where
you are using Soundtrack Pro as the final step in producing the overall project, or when
you want to show the current version of the project to a client or other party while
working on the project in Soundtrack Pro.
When you use an external video output device, the quality of the output is as high as
the device can support. If you connect an output device capable of broadcast-quality
output, the video is displayed with more accurate colors than on a computer display,
with true interlacing, correct pixel sizes, the correct aspect ratio, and broadcast-quality
refresh rates.
Some broadcast-quality video output devices receive both the video and audio from a
project. When you use a video output device that supports both video and audio
output, Soundtrack Pro automatically routes your audio output to this device to provide
the best possible synchronization of the audio and video.
Use the window’s resize
control to make the
video larger.
