Video Preferences

Musical sequences are associated with a song or other sound effect, from either an audio file (such as an MP3) or a video file (such as an AVI, WMV, or MP4 file).  If a musical sequence is associated with a video file, Light-O-Rama can display the video during play.

 

The "Video" tab is accessed by selecting Sequencer Preferences from the Sequencer's Tools menu and can be used to control whether and how video is displayed during playback.

 

There are 2 sets of video preferences. The left side controls how videos are displayed during sequencing (while using the Sequencer). The right side controls how videos are displayed in shows by the Show Player.

 

On either side you have the same 3 choices:

 

Display Videos in a Window

Display Videos in Full Screen Mode

Use Audio Track Only When Sequencing With Video Media

 

Not all modes are supported at all license levels. See the Feature Comparison page for more information.

Display Videos in a Window

 

In this mode, video will be displayed in a window. You can move the window and resize it as needed.

 

Display Videos in Full Screen Mode

 

In this mode, video will be displayed full screen. If you have multiple monitors, the method for choosing the monitor where the video will be display is different for sequencing and show playback:

 

For sequencing, first select the Display Vidoes in a Window option. Play a sequence and position the video window on the desired monitor. Stop playback. Go back into Video Preferences and change the option to Full Screen Mode.

For show playback, select the desired monitor from the drop-down list.

 

Use Audio Track Only When Sequencing With Video Media

 

In this mode, when a musical sequence with a video is played, only the audio track of the video will be played. There will be no video window.
