is it possible to see the preview on my entire screen in vegas MS7

i looked around in the forums and in the help files in vegas and i couldn't find this issue anywhere.

sometimes after working for hours and staring at my screen from just a couple feet away, i want to stand back and take a look at what i've done, without burning my eyes any more than i already have...

is there a full screen preview?

or is always in this little box on the corner of my screen?

*thanx*

Try Preview (auto) and select Full - and undock the preview window.
If not enough then:

Right click anywhere in the preview window and select Scale Video to Fit Preview Window - then drag the corners of the preview window to make it fill as much as you wish...

But be prepared: If the preview was not stuttering before it will be now :-)

To cure this do Selectively Prerender or Build Dynamic RAM Preview.

Or skip all above and do Preview in Player.

On this subject ... I find that when putting text on the screen .. a "lower third" in particular but full screen text as well .. I tend to use a larger size font than necessary .. because I'm using the standard (ie: small) preview window.

"preview in player" ?

that is Tools + Preview in Player -or- CTRL+SHIFT+M.

Select a "Preview as" that gives a fast render - i.e. mpeg-1 or 2 - ander after rendering is finished VMSP will start the Windows Media Player to show the video.
Remember that you can render and preview a selected region to check difficult parts.
