Working with long or high-resolution videos can be a challenging task, especially when editing within a studio environment. The new HD Preview feature introduces a low-quality video preview mode that enhances studio performance for demanding projects. This guide will walk you through how it works and how to use it effectively.
The HD Preview Toggle becomes available or is automatically generated when your video meets the following criteria:
Landscape Orientation: The video’s width is greater than or equal to its height.
Long Duration: Videos that are longer than 10 minutes.
High Resolution: Videos with a resolution higher than 1080p.
This ensures that only resource-intensive videos make use of the HD Preview feature for better performance.
How to Use the HD Preview Toggle
Open Your Project:
Begin by opening your video project in the studio environment.
Locate the HD Preview Toggle:
The toggle will be visible in the studio if your video meets the qualifying criteria mentioned above.
Toggle HD Preview On or Off:
By keeping the HD Preview Toggle Off, you enable the low-quality preview mode, resulting in faster loading times and smoother editing.
You can switch it on if you prefer to view the video in higher quality during editing, though this may impact performance.

The HD Preview only affects the editing process. Your final exported video retains its original quality, regardless of whether the toggle is on or off.
