Preview is pixelated!

[mediamogul]

Hi all,
Ive been editing a doc that I shot and my wife was tinkering with it and now the preview window is pixelated. Any thoughts on how to get it back to the way it was when i first loaded vegas 5?

Check the preview quality. It's probably at "draft" or "preview." There's a dropdown over the preview window.

Thats on Good (auto). When I drag the window to make it full screen it looks fine, dock it back its pixelated a bit.

It will pixelate in when docked. This is to preserver precious resources. Is there a reason you need it clear while previewing it?

If so, you could always select Best (Full) but then it will be at it's full size and you will not see everything in the small preview window (while docked).

The best way is to simply set up a separate monitor to view your edits. I simply use a 9" .

OR, you could simply hit ALT+4 to open up the preview window when you want to view your edit to check it for errors or positioning and such.

You can make the preview window full size when it's docked -- you just have to move stuff around.
