Scene Preview/Render

It allows you to control how the images of Scene Strips are displayed in the preview.

OpenGL Preview

Use a quick OpenGL preview (see OpenGL render for more on this subject), otherwise a full render is used, which can be very slow.

Sequencer Preview Shading
Method for rendering OpenGL renders. See the 3D view’s Viewport Shading options.
Textured Solid
Display textures even when in solid mode.

Settings used by OpenGL Previews:

  • The anti-alias setting from the active scene is used for all scenes.
  • The alpha setting is taken from each scene strip Alpha Mode option.

View Settings
