Chapter 7: Playing the Movie Track 41
If the Movie window is partially blocked by
another window on your screen, playback
will slow or “stutter” as your computer’s
CPU attempts to display the video.
Movie window size and position are saved
with your session.
To show the Movie Window:
■ Select Windows > Show Movie Window.
To resize the Movie Window:
■ When playback is stopped, click the
lower right corner of the Movie window
and drag to shrink or enlarge the window.
Movie Aspect Ratio
(AVoption Only)
You can set the Movie window to automat-
ically snap to one of two window aspect ra-
tios (4x3 or 16x9), or to allow uncon-
strained resizing.
By constraining the aspect ratio, you can
see a more accurate on-screen representa-
tion of the final video. Use 4:3 for video
destined for television, and use 16:9 for
wide screen film-format viewing.
To set the Movie window aspect ratio:
1 Select Movie > Show Movie Window.
2 Select Movie > Movie Window Aspect Ra-
tio.
3 Choose 4:3, 16:9, or unconstrained as the
aspect ratio.
Spotting the Movie Track
You can spot the entire Movie Track to a
new SMPTE frame location. Although
AVoption and AVoption XL retain the
names and positions of different “clips”
when you import a Movie Track, you can-
not spot separate video clips. When you
spot the Movie Track, the whole track or se-
quence is moved to the new frame location
you specify.
To spot the Movie Track to a new frame
location:
1 Set the Main Timebase display to Time
Code using the pop-up menu.
2 Enable Spot mode by clicking the Spot
button.
3 Select the Movie on the Movie Track with
the Grabber tool.
4 In the Spot dialog, specify a new SMPTE
frame number for the start of the Movie
Track. In this dialog, you can press “+” or
“-” on the numeric keypad, enter a num-
ber, and press the Enter key to add or sub-
tract that number of frames from the
currently selected time field.
5 Click OK when you are done.
