^{Previewing projects and clips}

As you work on a project, you can preview the project periodically in the monitor to check your editing. Or, if you want to preview individual clips, you can use the Contents pane to ensure you captured the content you want to use in your movies. Use the playback buttons to move from frame to frame or from clip to clip.

Note

• When you preview your project in Windows Movie Maker with the monitor set to display at 640x480 pixels, the video will not appear optimally. However, the video in the final saved movie plays back and is displayed at a higher quality level.
