Previewing the timeline


    You can preview the timeline in the Monitor window. The Monitor window displays the contents of the currently active timeline. While previewing, you can add points, type subtitles, and edit the in and out points of the subtitles. If you want to preview your entire project by simulating DVD playback, in order to check your links, use the Project Preview window. See Working in the Project Preview window.

    Note: Adobe Encore DVD writes all timelines in a project to disc. Make sure that you delete the timeline if, after you preview it, you decide not to use it in your current project.

To preview the timeline:

  1. Open the timeline you want to preview (or click its tab in the Timeline window if it is already open). Adobe Encore DVD displays the timeline in the Timeline window.
  2. If the Monitor window is not open, choose Window > Monitor.
  3. Position the current-time indicator at the location where you want to begin the preview.
  4. Click the Play button Play button to begin previewing the timeline.
  5. Click the Play button again to pause the preview.
