2. Preview Area

The preview area is a monitor screen where you can preview and listen to added video or audio clips, or view edited clips in the timeline. The preview screen is exposed at a lower resolution than the set resolution due to memory efficiency, thus the image quality may be degraded.

This mode allows you to monitor the video or audio clip in the clip area as it is.
