| Movavi VideoSuite :: Edit Video :: Working :: Previewing Files :: Edit Video :: Working :: Previewing Files |
The Preview area of the Edit Video module serves to preview original video, video with apllied filter effects, and to compare original video with processed one.
The Preview area has three modes:
Original. The original file is displayed, without any changes caused by filters.
Filtered. Modified file is displayed. This is exactly how your movie will look like after you save it. As you add or modify the filters, you will see the applied effects.
Split. A split mode that helps to see the changes and analyze the filters' settings. The Preview area is divided into two parts in this mode. The left half displays the original file, while the right one displays the movie with the filters applied.
To switch to a preview mode, select a corresponding tab in the top of the Preview area.
