Viewing a Track

The track preview feature allows you to select a video, audio, and subtitle stream to view.
You control which streams play using the buttons at the far-left side of the stream.

To preview a track
Do one of the following:

µ

Control-click in the video stream, then choose Play from the shortcut menu.

µ

Press the Space bar.

µ

Move the playhead.

The Viewer tab moves to the front (if not already there) and shows the selected video
stream and subtitle. You can also hear the audio of the selected audio stream through
your system’s speakers or through an external audio decoder and monitor.

You can also see the video if you drag the playhead along the timeline in the Track Editor.
If you click in the timeline, the playhead jumps to that position and its video appears in
the Viewer tab.
