preview full screen

[Douglas Spotted eagle]

Options | Preferences | Preview Device Select “Secondary monitor”

If you have a dual monitor system, the vid will display full on secondary monitor. If you have a single monitor, it will take over your single monitor. ESC will restore view to Vegas interface

Spot, what’s the keyboard command to make the video preview display full screen on a single monitor system?

OK, looks like there is no keyboard shortcut for full-screen. Instead, I’ve set up alt-d-2 to make the preview monitor take over most of the screen (and alt-d-1 to return it to normal.)

In Vegas 8 there is a 3 key shortcut for full screen on one monitor systems but for the life of me I cant remember. I’ll post it if I can find it again. Danny

the three key strokes are alt + shift + 4 and that will give you full screen in sony vegas on a single monitor
