Using an External Video Monitor

External video preview allows you to reclaim valuable real estate in the VEGAS Pro window, check colors and safe areas on a broadcast monitor, or just view a full-screen preview of your project.

TIP

If you want to preview on your external monitor and in the Video Preview window at the same time, select the Display frames in Video Preview window during playback checkbox on the Preview Device tab of the Preferences dialog.

For more information, see Using the Video Preview window and Preferences - Preview Device Tab

NOTE

  • VEGAS Pro allows you to use one external video device at a time. The external monitor display will be unavailable during video capture.

  • When using an external video monitor, you need to enable external-monitor preview each time you start VEGAS Pro. This change was made to prevent the possibility of hiding the main VEGAS Pro window behind the secondary display when monitors are improperly configured.
