Trial User Newbie Q - Full Screen Preview?

mcjazzer wrote on 3/7/2006, 10:59 PM

I'm on Day 2 of my 30 day trial of Vegas Movie Studio - forgive my naivete, but where is the full screen preview option? In other movie programs I've used (iMovie, Windows Movie Maker - don't laugh) the full screen preview is simple, either just a button clearly marked or it's in the "View" menu - I've searched the Help files in Vegas & all I can find is stuff about "external monitors" - all I'm looking to do is preview video in a full screen mode on the same computer that I'm running Vegas on - ?

OK, answered my own Q I guess - discovered the "Preview in Player" option in the Tools menu, which sends a full screen version to Windows Media Player - but, you have to do this "prerender" deal to watch anything in Vegas full screen? The prerender on my little 1 min. beginning of a movie took about 90 secs., seems like a long time to wait just to watch 60 secs. of video full screen. Granted, I'm only running 256 RAM at 1.3 ghz processor speed, but still...

This is the Vegas forum. The Movie Studio forum can be found here. You'll have a better chance of getting the help you need there.

Best of luck!
