Video preview

Enable full-resolution preview. On some machines there may be a noticeable performance cost to this option.

Background rendering

Rendering is the process of generating video for footage that uses transitions, effects or other computationally demanding features of Pinnacle VideoSpin. Until such video has been rendered, it may not display smoothly and with full detail during preview.

Pinnacle VideoSpin is able to carry out rendering behind the scenes while you work, a feature called background rendering.

Enable background rendering: Uncheck this box if you do not want to use background rendering at all. One might do this on a slower computer if intensive rendering were causing other operations to become sluggish.

Set codec automatically: Let Pinnacle VideoSpin decide which codec to use for encoding your rendered video (availability depending on actual set of codecs in your software setup).
