CS 2 Video preview

[Matt Grunau]

CS2 has the great option of viewing your work on a TV or NTSC monitor. Not the biggest boon when doing uber-high rez photo work for print, but damn helpfull for video.

The option is under File>Export>Video Preview to send it via firewire and your camera to your TV. With all the graphcs people use P-shop for, specifically video oriented, this is a very handy thing indeed. I have mine set up with the hot keys of Shift+Ctrl+Alt+z.

Works fantastic. an immediate preview on your TV of what the graphic will look like.

Agreed, a very useful feature. I do a lot of photo montage (video slideshow's) consisting almost exclusively of photo's. I use PhotoShop's video preview feature to check my color correction for each photo since it will ultimately be seen on a TV.

My hot key choice, however, is F2 (I think I supplanted some other feature that previously utilized that hotkey, but I decided this was a better use of that key )
