Stretch to Window |
Each Video Preview frame is stretched to fit exactly into the Video Preview window. This mode is generally the slowest because resizing a frame by nonintegral fractions requires many calculations. |
Integral Stretch |
When selected the Video Preview frame will only be stretched by integral amounts. This is usually the fastest mode. |
Preserve Aspect |
When selected, the original aspect ratio (horizontal vs. vertical size) of the video will be preserved. |
External Monitor |
When selected, the video preview is sent to an external video monitor. Your video card must support this feature in order to use it. |
Passive Update |
When selected, the Video Display will only be updated when the processor is idle, which in slower computers is much less frequent. This will help to keep the audio from skipping when a computer cant update video frames fast enough. |
