  • How can I “preview” in full screen? Sony Vegas 7.0

    Posted by Daniel Cervantes on August 18, 2011 at 6:34 pm

    I am a bit of a begginer and used Vegas 8 Pro and now I’m on a different computer.

    I have the play back window in the right bottom corner. I used to click on the blue icon to go full screen back on 8.0 Pro, now it seems 7.0 wont do it. I see under properties I can select differnt monitors (add them, external monitors, etc) but current have the device set to none. How can I make my preview window go full screen and then hit escape to go back to the smaller window.

    Thank you!!

    That’s because Vegas 7 required a physical secondary monitor and you don’t have one. Vegas Pro 8 allowed you to substitute the primary display as a secondary preview monitor. There is just no way to make this happen with Vegas 7.

    Ahhh, no way. That explains it. Thank you sir.

    On that note, I have a buddy loaning me a 18″ flat screen monitor. That should be fun. I liked the full screen option, but having a secondary monitor seems to be the way to go.
