Preview to External Monitor Question

jboy wrote on 1/22/2002, 4:47 PM
I'm unable to play anything but a simple video stream using the Preview to Ext. Monitor function in Vegas. If I put any effect on the clip, or try to superimpose one track over another, the picture freezez on the ext. monitor but automatically starts playing in the preview window. Is this normal, and if so, is there any way I can get a real time preview on an external monitor, either a tv set or second computer monitor on a second or dual head card, of all tracks and all effects ? (subject to the limitations of ones CPU power, of course) I just need a larger view of whats happening picture-wise.

You need to activate the "recompress edited frames" box via ... Options Menu - Prefs - External Monitor
Everything will now show on your OHCI ext. monitor setup, IE: everything that will need to render in the final playback - print to tape.
As G.G. said, Region select/Preview to ram to get back full frame rate as needed.
