Preview

Preview is only available in Fusion Studio. Previews in DaVinci Resolve use the Scratch Disk setting in the Media Storage preferences.

In the Preview preferences, you configure the creation and playback options for preview renders.

Options

Render Previews Using Proxy Scaling: When checked, this option scales down the images to the preview size for the Loader and Creator tools. This causes much faster rendering. If this option is disabled, frames will be rendered at full size and are then scaled down.

Skip Frames to Maintain Apparent Framerate: When checked, frames are skipped during playback of Flipbooks and file sequences to maintain the frame rate setting.

Show Previews for Active Loaders: This setting determines whether the preview playback controls are shown below the Inspector when a Loader with a valid file is activated.

Show Previews for Active Savers: This setting determines whether the preview playback controls below the Inspector are shown when a Saver with a valid file is activated.

Display File Sequences On: This setting determines which viewer or external monitor is used for the interactive and file sequence playbacks as well as for the scrubbing function in the bins.
